Dr Survé slams Wikipedia’s false claims

The Star

|

August 08, 2025

DR. IQBAL Survé, the chairman of Sekunjalo Investment Holdings, has fiercely condemned the apparent weaponisation of Wikipedia to disseminate false and defamatory information regarding him and his companies.

- IOL REPORTER

In a strong statement, he outlined the organised and malicious nature of the attacks, asserting that this trend poses a severe threat to integrity and truth in the public discourse.

Evidence indicates that certain anonymous users are employing the popular online platform to propagate unverified allegations, driven by a campaign that seems to seek to undermine Dr. Survé's reputation. Operating under pseudonyms such as @Gevaarlik and @ Joker1Joker, these anonymous accounts have been described as “single-purpose accounts” by Wiki moderators, indicating that they are specifically created for either promotion or denigration of certain individuals or entities.
