South African and global news updates with a twist. 2oceansvibe is South Africa’s biggest solely owned online news platform with local and world news updates.

Some of the country's best restaurants have been dealing with a sudden influx of Google reviews, both positive and negative, that are clearly fake and really stirring the pot. These obviously bogus reviews are throwing the restaurant's reputation into question, while also raising concerns about the integrity and authenticity of customer review platforms and online feedback.

You can tell they're nonsense Google reviews, whether positive and negative, as they often mention menu items these restaurants do not even offer, with other details that are clearly inaccurate. Fake feedback, often generated using AI , misleads consumers but also undermines the hard work and dedication of businesses.
