1 / 3

A South African TikTok user has called for Ireti Bakare-Yusuf, a Nigerian journalist, to be declared persona non grata in South Africa. The call follows backlash over Bakare-Yusuf’s interview with Jacinta and a separate confrontation with South African Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi at a recent media briefing. The petition alleges that her conduct was disrespectful and seeks to prevent her from working or travelling in South Africa. The petition shown in the accompanying image had gathered 3,875 signatures toward a target of 25,000 at the time of posting.
