Analysis: South Africa’s 24-hour trend report – 24 April 2020 By Centre for Analytics and Behavioural Change

DSTV#SignThePetition drove the 6am-8am spike in volume. #LockdownGraduationDay was a secondary driver of the 2pm-3pm spike.

@UmalambaneZN instructed his audience to redirect the attention they had garnered towards #LockdownGraduationDay: “let us focus on celebrating our brothers and sisters who can’t graduate because of the lockdown”. An article by Marianne Merten detailed the misadventures of our politicians as they navigated the world of video conferencing. This was the top news story for the day and the third post by impact.

At 8.21pm @Sandileleon used the hashtag #IKnewIWasHurtWhen to tweet that he had lost his brother on 18 April. A post by @AdvoBarryRoux, paraphrasing Mboweni’s stance on spaza shops post lockdown, was the top post by reach and impact. The thread of government looting continued, along with the fear that the government’s initiatives would be aimed only at BEE compliant companies.An immediate response followed his statement that spaza shops will now need to be licenced and registered with SARS, implying that refugees and illegal residents will be forced to close their businesses.

The EFF’s Mbuyiseni Ndlozi tweeted statistics about Covid-19 infection rates and deaths. He directed the tweets to @CyrilRamaphosa, expressing the EFF view that the President was acting prematurely by relaxing the lockdown.
