🦟 Family killed by mosquito pills in South Africa? ❌ False: An image of tear gas victims in Chad was used in hoax posts. TendyDube reports:

published in isiXhosa on October 14, 2022, asks if it is true that Zimbabweans are selling mosquito tablets that have killed people, particularly in South Africa’s Western Cape province.

“These people want us dead,” reads part of the post, which features a close-up image of grey pills and another picture of three people appearing lifeless on the floor.from Nigeria includes more images of people lying on the same floor and claims the pills are a “mosquito coil” which is deadly when inhaled. “The new trend of reducing our population,” reads part of the post’s caption.

While the grey pills seen in the posts are potentially fatal if ingested, they have no link to the people on the floor in the adjacent images.
