What's made news on social media?
Acumen Media has released its weekly round-up of the biggest stories making news on social media platforms in South Africa. At the top of everyone's minds was the Global Citizen Festival; while the Motsepe Foundation was praised for its donation, the South African Police Services was criticised for its poorly planned policing strategy.
#GlobalCitizenFestival keep us busy all week, both joy and anger surrounded the event. Elated South Africa praised @MotsepeFoundtn for such a monumental undertaking, #SAPS reaction to a poorly planned policing strategy made social media furious, #BhekiCele restored calm; pic.twitter.com/7TsN2e6onF

Other stories coming to light include Eskom's dreaded return to regular load shedding; the death anniversary for former President Nelson Mandela; Johann Rupert's contentious appearance on PowerFM; President Cyril Ramaphosa's launch of the Atlantis SEZ; as well as Shamila Batohi's appointment as the new head of the National Prosecuting Authority.
That was not all, however, as state capture, land reform, and the EFF remain topical.
