In this episode of “What's Crap on WhatsApp?”, we look at four viral claims:

Folic acid is vital during pregnancy, ignore widely shared claims to throw the nutrient “in the trash”. https://bit.ly/folicacid_folate

Do these videos show the secretary general of South Africa’s largest political party, criticising president Cyril Ramaphosa? No! https://bit.ly/fikile_mbalula

Did South African political party the Democratic Alliance hoist a giant Israeli flag on Cape Town’s iconic Table Mountain? Nope. https://bit.ly/capetown_flag

Don’t worry, you STILL won’t fall victim to phishing if you share greeting messages on WhatsApp. https://bit.ly/greeting_messages

Your friends and family can sign up for our show! Tell them to save our number (+27 82 709 3527) and send us a WhatsApp message to confirm. You can send us any WhatsApp message that you need fact-checked! Forward videos, pictures and links to this number.
