Johannesburg – The National Treasury on Monday warned of a fake Twitter account claiming to be that of newly appointed Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene.

“Minister Nene does not have a twitter account,” spokesperson Zwikhodo Netshituni said in a statement.

“…The twitter account with a handle @NhlanhlaNeneZA is counterfeit.” The account with 3 603 followers has tweeted 17 times and has a picture of Nene on its profile.

The latest tweet says: “This woman, @ThuliMadonsela3, immensely inspires me. As Time magazine said, she’s an example of what an African civil servant ought to be.”
