In brief Social Media South Africa

Eskom grips the attention of social media users this week

According to a seven-day analysis by Acumen Media, these are the stories that were the week's biggest stories on social media:

  • The leader in coverage for the week was #Eskom. The electricity public utility was a hot topic of discussion in the midst of load-shedding.

  • Coming in second was our beloved men's national football team Bafana Bafana for winning a match against Libya.
  • #StateCaptureInquiry saw #AngeloAgrizzi return to centre stage and the names kept dropping.

  • #AndileRamphosa being implicated in the #BosasaScandal left a huge impact both in the top stories and also in the political charts.
  • The horror of #CycloneIdai left hundreds of thousands of people displaced and many still stranded and fighting of their lives.
  • #EdSheeran's recent tour left a positive impact on SA.
  • #HumanRightsDay was left in the dark and for the first time in SA, #SharpevilleDay did not top the media.
  • #AndileMngxitama's comments about #CycloneIdai being orchestrated by white people left social media laughing.
  • The #DA's upcoming march #KeepTheLightsOn did not go down well with social media and many felt it was disingenuous when the country has been at a standstill anyway.
  • An 'almost win' for #OUTA surprised us yesterday as #SANRAL dropped the quest to chase historical debt from e-tolls.
