Who to follow on social media: SA's top five


Greetings dear readers
My first blog post was a success, thanks to everyone who took their time to read it and those who graced it with their insightful comments and thoughts. Hence this time I have decided to take a different leap and focus on an exciting and more interesting topic.

Who do you look up to and who inspires you on social media? Mhm…that is a fascinating question right? If you new to a social network and still wondering who to follow but yet not sure, then look no further as I have collected 5 influential people to follow on social media.

come on, tap in and enjoy...

v KHAYA DLANGA

I often call him Mr “K the motivator” I feel like he’s achieved so much at a younger age. Mr Dlanga is one of the top influential in South Africa. He’s been in an advertising industry for 11 years and works in the Marketing and Communication for one of the largest brands, Coca-Cola. http://goo.gl/NbjU1b why you should follow him? He has more than on 50 000 people following him, he has been viewed on 6.5 million times on YouTube and he was voted Africa’s top blogger. He’s definitely someone to look up to. http://goo.gl/k5h3hx

                         v  BONANG MATHEBA

Who doesn't know Bongang Matheba? http://goo.gl/p6KmZ3 She’s a gorgeous, smart, flawless individual who has managed to accomplish  so much at the age of 24, an inspiration indeed. She is a TV presenter, radio DJ and a business woman, model,fashion designer, you name it http://goo.gl/z8cG6m. She has more than half a million Facebook and twitter followers


                            v  GARETH CLIFF

I believe that Gareth cliff has created a legacy for the aspiring TV and Radio personalities. Most people know him from idols; he’s been a judge for 12 years. He’s currently hosting his live morning radio show, cliffcentral. http://goo.gl/Fiajvh.

                               v  TREVOR NOAH

Trevor Noah is the funniest South African comedians who is admired by a large number of people.  Not only is he a comedian but he was also a radio DJ, an actor and a TV show host. @trevornoah (his officials twitter account). http://goo.gl/dNUr6s

                               v  MINENHLE “MINNIE” DLAMINI

Not so long ago Minenhle also known as "Minnie" was just an ordinary girl trying to make it in the industry, and then she went big.  Ms Dlamini is a South African presenter, radio host and an actress.  She is currently a sports presenter and a brand ambassador for Jeep. She’s going places for sure, watch the space http://goo.gl/RlLpcB Follow her @minniedlamini

    1. Thank you Maltida for your question. a person should have what we call a kloute score which is an average for each of your social networks, a person must be able to drive action and when he or she shares something on social media people respond
