Just before 2am on the day he has to present what may be the most important medium-term budget in SA’s history, finance minister Tito Mboweni announced his decision that he won’t tweet his own thoughts in future.

“I came to the conclusion that Twitter is no longer about its original purpose: i.e. to create a networked society. It is now an abusive platform,” Mboweni tweeted.
