Top 2 Social Media Influencers


Yes, yes, yes . I know two days is a long time to wait for the Top 2 but I got it.
This is the moment of truth; well…I like to believe that.

I’m sure the ladies will be happy about this one, and so number 2 goes to MTV’s first ever African VJ (Video Jockey),  Radio presenter , and business man owning the very popular Capello Buzz in Fourways. Sizwe Dhlomo, this individual has made it so far from being just a presenter to becoming such a big deal everywhere. Sizwe is followed by 308K on twitter and currently has 91K tweets;  meaning he has a lot to say. Sizwe has become somebody that the public literally waits to see what he has to say about current issues or stories and they value his opinion, especially because he leaves millions with stomach aches from his humorous replies and comments.


So, since we know our number 2, can we get a drum roll please (Imagines the sound).The number 1 spot goes to Khaya Dlanga . Being in the PR field , you should definitely be familiar with this Mail and Guardian Columnist. Having that he does not eat black jelly babies as his bio and 155K followers on twitter. Khaya definitely is someone you should follow and scroll down his timeline. This is a man with a very strong opinion and besides his entertaining side he always manages to make time to address to serious issues where he interacts with many numbers in his discussions, making most of his trends a success. Khaya Dlanga is a social media influencer, he is relevant , up to date and credible and that is why he is my chosen number 1.

Top 5 'Brands' to left click on.

 Hello All...
Social media has become a huge chunk of our lives especially in the PR department and has given us the ability to know what is going through everybody's mind. YES! Even about your new product which you launched a few weeks back. But most importantly it has drawn us closer to certain brands that would not even take a second look at us in the local grocery store or at the reception of their offices.
I have compiled a Top five list of social media influencers that you should definitely follow just before you Instagram your fancy dinner.

Number 5 goes to "The Queen B", Bonang Matheba (Radio & TV personality, Fashion Role model, Mogul). Around her busy schedule, Bonang always knows how to make people covet over her perfect life on social media. This Queen has such a large following base because of her honesty and humility towards her fans. What Bonang says, really does go a long way,'on social media that is'. https://twitter.com/bonang_m




My Number 4 is The One and Only Western Cape Premier Helen Zille. This may seem like a joke but this woman really does know how to influence large numbers through her intelligence and critics of current issues.Coming from the opposing party (The Democratic Alliance) Ms Zille knows how to persuade many through  her vast knowledge in politics and her opinionated posts all over social media to lure us all into voting for her party even though it has caused so much drama in her life.  https://www.facebook.com/HelenZille


Number 3 goes to The Big Dawg DJ Fresh (www.djfresh.com). Besides the Screenmunch saga he had a few years ago.HERE The Big Dawg is known to be one of the greatest social media influencers with no doubt. DJ Fresh is an international club DJ , Entrepreneur, Producer and one of the best Radio personalities in South Africa ; I think it might be because of his weirdly deep voice; He is on 5FM from 5:00AM-8:00AM keeping everybody awake on their way to school or work on Weekdays so, do so and catch him right after following him.


Since I have given out the first Top 3 Social media influencers in my opinion, feel free to let me know on how you feel about them and if you feel the same way as I do. I will continue with the countdown of the final two and feel free to guess who I have chosen to be the Top 2.
