Redi Tlhabi and Dr JJ Tabane exchange some words on Twitter because of how they see things differently.
Redi Tlhabi shared that, "Not every talk show host is a journalist (nothing wrong with that and I support media opening up to industry experts) but if the content of a talk show is political & news, then I doubt such hosts can also INITIATE political action or be coms advisors to political figures at the SAME time".
She was responding to Dr JJ and he got angry and that is where blow by blow begins on Twitter between these two journalists.
