Last week's most popular stories on social media

According to research by Accumen Media, here are the stories that caught the attention of South Africans last week:

  • The murder of #ThorisoThemane dominated social media feeds last week as the community tried to wrap its head around what happened.
  • "Pastor" Lukau's fake resurrection gave rise to the #ResurrectionChallenge with memes flooding timelines.
  • #StateCaptureInquiry saw the testimony of #TrevorManuel and it was riveting. We learnt of #RazzMaTazz/#FikileMbalula's appointment as sports minister being orchestrated by the Guptas.
  • #Eskom remains a talking point as the embattled SOE converges with the #StateCaptureInquiry.
  • #DAManifesto put the DA back on the social media charts.
  • #Bosasa and #Guptas also took their spot on the charts just when it seemed we'd forgotten about the #Guptas, #StateCapture resurrected the stories.
  • #Mchunu fainting during #SOPA19 made an impact this week.
  • The #IAAF decision on #CasterSemenya also made the top 10.
