This report which was however false earned the broadcasting Network a massive lambasting from across the continent. The latest person to add her voice is Ghanaian female journalist and comedienne Afia Schwarzenegger who has condemned the station heavily for tarnishing a well-built legacy and also embarrassing the entire nation.

"As for GTV, the least said the better...so now that we all know fmr Prez Thabo Mbeki is alive what should we do to you, the nation's number 1 fake news station?? You need to see how south Africans are laughing at Ghanaians...Does GTV uses Internet in their office at all;if so what do they use it for..Facebook or Twitter .. The last time I checked Dede Ayew was referred to as a musician called Ayitey powers by GTV. ..why why, why? Bad production,terrible pictures and creating stories in their head, Eish enough is enough Enough of your embarrassments ."
