Botswana quickly denied the false news about giving fans of Arsenal an extra day off. The Botswana government was forced to officially debunk this fake news, which claimed that all fans of the London club would be given an extra day off on Wednesday. In social media, there was a widespread spread of this false statement, in which the president of the Duma, Boko, congratulated the players on their championship title and allowed them to skip work on May 20th. It’s interesting that the official denial only came around noon. This fact indirectly confirms that there were indeed many citizens in the country who, believing the false information on the Internet, chose to ignore their work obligations in order to celebrate this supposed “holiday”. This incident shows how quickly digital myths can spread across continents, forcing government agencies to respond quickly to these fabricated information crises.
