What's in the news on social media?
Acumen Media has collated the week's top stories on social media. Let's have a look.
The ongoing load shedding has had many expressing their frustration; its mention on social media reached 70% of the week's most talked-about subjects. Despite President Cyril Ramaphosa's nation address, Human Rights Day didn't make much of an impact.
The State Capture Inquiry also made a mark with additional information about Denel revealed. Thoughts and prayers were also shared with the victims of the Idai Cyclone in Mozambique as well as the shooting incident in New Zealand.
The abuse case involving Babes Wodumo and Mandla "Mampintsha" Maphumulo remained in the news as he made a public apology this week. Other top stories included the Steinhoff Report, the murder of former ANC Youth League Secretary Sindiso Magaqa and Rachel Kolisi's outing of another woman sliding into her husband's DMs.
