What's making headlines on social media?
Let's have a look at the latest Acumen Media social media news roundup.
The recent surge of xenophobic attacks meant that #Xenophobia took the top spot with electioneering politicians capitalising on it. Meanwhile, the ANC top six took their turn to testify in the Bosasa case at the State Capture Inquiry.
Still shedding no light, Eskom remains in the spotlight and, this week, Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan tried to assure South Africans that the energy producer would not exceed stage one load shedding. Many South Africans used social media to share their views on Pieter Myburgh's book about ANC Secretary-General Ace Magashule or, as he's being referred to now, Mr 10 Percent.
