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

i think these people have played a much larger role in the society, especially Bonang Matheba. accomplishing so much at the age of 24; she has encouraged and inspired me to become a better person and to never give up on my dreams and i know that she's an inspiration to others as well.
ReplyDeletehello effie, i see you really look up to Bonang Matheba. guess what? she's is launching her new site @bonangmatheba.com.....visit the site and get into her world!
Deletei would have loved to see Graem Smith on the list, nevertheless i think you have compiled a great list, they are all indeed influential people to follow on social media
ReplyDeleteThe SA cricketer and a former captain Graem Smith is also an influential individual...he would definitely make my top 10 list...remember we all look up to different people in social media
Deletenice topic indeed! but my question is, you as a young girl!who do you look up to?
ReplyDeletewow! thank you Polosho for an intriguing question. There are so many people i look up to but to be precise it has to be Khaya Dlanga and Bonang Matheba. They are both a definition of where i want to be in five years to come, they have achieved so much at a tender age
Deletewhat are the qualities one must have in order for people to follow him or her on social media
ReplyDeleteThank 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
Deletehi ntombi, i like how you you gave us a description of a person underneath each picture,this will give people enough reason to follow them. On another case there are so many influential people on social media, it would be really nice to see more of them.
ReplyDeletethank you Daluxolo. and yes i agree with you, there are many social media influences in South Africa and i can write a whole book about them. I understand that you want to see more hence when i do my next blog i would take that into consideraetion
ReplyDeleteconsideration
Deleteyou couldn't have composed a better list... these people are truly those that should be looked up to and followed as they lead the way forward. They are mufti-talented and successful in life!! who wouldn't want that
ReplyDeletetrue candie, i think they are ordinary people doing extraordinary things, they are truly deserving, after all who wouldn't want to follow people of such caliber....
ReplyDeleteYour list is on point. Especially Khaya Dlanga his influence goes beyond twitter he is very influential on Instagram
ReplyDeletethank you Kuhle, I'm glad you find Khaya Danga influencial hence I myself look up to him
