#MarkFishChallenge: South African Twitter's latest meme
Former South African soccer player Mark Fish became the laughing stock of the web this week when he tweeted about jazz legend Hugh Masekela's passing on Tuesday.
“We love you forever,” Fish wrote. “Thank you!”
The issue? The attached image was one of Fish with Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse, who is still “very much alive”.
Fish deleted the tweet, apologised, and posted a picture of the real Masekela, but not before Twitter latched on with the #MarkFishChallenge.#MarkFish I am very much alive - oops ask my family or manager @MartinMyers or @BillyMonama - I am alive and well pic.twitter.com/5MWU2Hyhup
