Malema not a Twitter man

Johannesburg - ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema has urged the public to ignore people impersonating him on Twitter and Facebook.
"Twitter is run by imperialists in America. I do not have Twitter or Facebook," he told reporters in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
He was responding to a question by a BBC reporter who asked him about comments on a Twitter account under the name Julius_S_Malema.
According to recent "tweets" under this name, there was still racism in South Africa.
These "tweets" also commented on developments in the league, leading to speculation Malema might actually be the writer.
Last year, league spokesperson Floyd Shivambu vowed to have Twitter closed down after another impersonation.
