Johannesburg – The chairwoman of the federal council of the district attorney, Helen Zille, says she has been bombarded by conspiracy theorists who insist she is responsible for inserting a microchip into a man’s brain.
Zille took to Facebook yesterday complaining that her privacy was being violated by numerous calls from people who wanted her to take responsibility for implanting a microchip in a person’s brain.
“The saddest and weirdest thing is happening and I’m not quite sure how to deal with it. There is a young man somewhere who is really convinced that I have implanted a microchip in his brain.
“He has built a considerable following on social media from people who believe this to be true. I’ve already received four calls this morning from people asking me why I implanted a microchip in their brain and what I intend to do about it, ”Zille wrote on her Facebook page.
The former Western Cape Prime Minister has denied the allegations and explained to the numerous callers that she has not inserted a microchip into the man’s brain, but that calls to his private cell phone have persisted.
“I explain to him that I did not implant a microchip in anyone’s brain, that I do not remember ever meeting the person in question.
“The callers then insist that it is my responsibility to help him remove the microchip from his brain. They claim that he has an X-ray showing that there is a microchip there, and somehow they believe that I, working with Elon Musk, put it there.
“Callers, who seem genuinely concerned, believe that I ‘as the leader of Cape Town’ (as one of them put it) have a duty to help remove the microchip from the young man’s brain or face arrest.
“The fourth caller said that there were other people involved in the microchip placement in his brain, including the president,” he said.
Zille said the situation was strange and demonstrated the dangers of social media. He said that if he knew the man he would direct him to seek medical assistance.
“It’s quite extraordinary how much traction this has gotten on social media, to the point where people take up enough of it to call me and demand that I do something about it. If I knew who the young man is, I would recommend him for medical help, as required by the callers.
But if you suspect that I am doing something so heinous to you, why would you accept my help? After all, can you visit a doctor or hospital on your own? This seems very strange indeed and the number of calls I am getting is getting intrusive. One of the by-products of the Internet. Conspiracies and deceptions flourish. ”
