The South African regime on Saturday arrested a woman who runs a popular Twitter account for allegedly inciting public violence through social media, resulting in massive looting and properties being destroyed in two provinces.

A woman, aged 36, was arrested in Gauteng.

The woman allegedly operated a popular Twitter account called Sphithiphithi Evaluator (@_AfricanSoil) with 59 900 followers. She was arrested in Leondale, Gauteng.
