Presidency Tweets we may (or not) see in our lifetime – #RaceFreeMonth

By

February has been declared Race Free Month and every day in February we at MyPE will be combating the subtle racist nuances that hamper our thinking, cloud our judgement, restrict our development and increase the tension in South Africa.

The following tweets were taken from our President’s Twitter Timeline. We thought we would try alternative tweets to see how they would look during this month when we should be avoiding using divisive words:

President Jacob Zuma concludes a successful meeting with Black Professionals

How about: President Jacob Zuma concludes a successful meeting with Business Professionals

President Zuma meeting with Black Professionals to discuss the implementation of Government’s Programme of Action.

How about: President Zuma meeting with SA Professionals to discuss the implementation of Government’s Programme of Action.

Opening remarks by President Jacob Zuma to a meeting with Black Professionals to discuss implementation of the NDP.
