Overview (Timeline)The timeline below shows how posts were done over time for the 33-day period. All data sourceswere relatively balanced excluding tweets. We can see from this data that the public participationwas head and shoulders above news feeds, blogs and articles. Tweets were much higher in volumeover this period. There were small spikes in hits throughout the period with a bigger spike on the27th of April and between the 4th and 5th of May and 10-12th of May. This was due to thefollowing:- Freedom Day and discussions about RSA's false sense of freedom- Discussions around the #secretballot campaign- Discussions on an after party to celebrate the cabinet reshuffle- Discussions of the court case against Jacob Zuma's re-shuffle- Re-instating of Brian MolefeAll interaction plateaued down after this and fell to normal levels during the last couple of days.

Findings/Conclusion
Summary of findings:
The Cabinet re-shuffle and subsequent downgrade of the country’s economy has led to a huge number of public tweets on the topics. Thislead to country wide protests which was reported on far and wide via tweets. Twitter was used as the main medium to spread the word onthe public protests and to spread the images of the protests country wide.
This is the second report in a series on this topic. For the duration of the monitoring period there were over 84 000 hits on this topic. Morethan 60% of these hits came from Twitter accounts as opposed to 90% from the previous reporting period.
There are regular spikes of twitter data throughout the period but noticeably on 27th of April, between 4-5th May and between 10-12th ofMay:· Thursday 27 April: This was Freedom Day in RSA and a lot of discussions took place around how South Africans are not free. We arelocked up behind our secure walls and fences and celebrate our "freedom" behind 6 foot walls. People are only truly free if they have a sayin the direction of the country without fear of retaliation and intimidation from others.· Sunday 4 May: The peak of hits on this day was all around the court order and if the court will set aside the cabinet reshuffle. Therewere a lot of talks around why we reached junk status and how Jacob Zuma just does what he wants and is not accountable for his actions.
On the actor analysis side figures are still skewed towards females but not as much as in the previous period.
Female participation is now only double that of males as opposed to 9 times from the previous period.
From an age group perspective, 1/3 of the hits were coming from the 25-34-year-old group in the previous report. For this reporting period,however, this has changed to the majority (42%) coming from the older 35-49-year-old group. This group represents the parental groupand more mature working class that shows an interest in their retirement and future in this country. In the previous period the youth wasmore interested in contributing to the topic but has now shown less of an interest than the older group.
Johannesburg is by far the most prominent role player in this context with most of the hits (27%) coming from this area. Cape Town followsin second place with just over 14%.
Findings/Conclusion continue..
Topic discussions are centred around 2-3 main topics:· Zuma: The public consensus is that Mr Zuma is a corrupt leader who needs to step down. A lot of mention is made in this reportingperiod of his alleged rape case and how he defies all laws and calls for him to step down.· Cabinet re-shuffle: A lot of mentions are on this topic specifically. There is a lot of concern from the public that someone can makedecisions that impact an entire country so negatively and still not see that this is not the right decision. The South African public areextremely irate on this topic. Mention is made of the financial impact this is having on the country and how taxpayers are paying for hisarrogance and defiance of law.
When it comes to influential people or groups, 2 major political parties have rallied to voice their concerns. The DA and EFF have been majorplayers in this context uniting against the decisions of a re-shuffle and collectively standing up against "corruption". This has remainedthe same over both reporting periods and both these political parties are using this platform and context to rally for support for futureelections.
Noteworthy on the number of hits and participation, is that the average hits are down considerably from the previous period from around23k per day to only 10% of that to 2.5K per day. The interest in the topic has died down or slowed down a lot and people are going on withtheir lives as usual.
Average hits over the period for review as just over 2 500 hits per day. Overall sentiment is neutral with the second majority beingextremely negative on Mr Zuma. There is a major shift towards some positivity based on the past period and marches that united SouthAfricans. Angus Buchan brought about a big shift of positivity in people and united all together in a massive prayer meeting attended bymore than 1 Million people.
One of the most negative topics was around Jacob Zuma's style of leadership and ethics. The public consensus is that he is a "corruptleader" that has re ached the end of his reign and that the time is now for him to step down as the leader of the ANC and president of thecountry.
The EFF and DA play a major role in posts and take up the top 2 spots in the influential posters and impactful posts. This is a major topic ofinterest to political parties and opposition to Jacob Zuma.
Findings/Conclusion continue..
Most impactful posts were around the court application to force Jacob Zuma to disclose the record of decision for his cabinet reshuffle andhis subsequent appeal and defiance of the requests.
The top 10 most impactful posts had a combined impression (Opened tweets) of just over 20 million. On average, each of the top 10impactful posts were opened by 900 000 people. This is an extremely powerful reach and impact on public. This is down from the previousperiod of over 2.5 million.
South Africa has united as a country in the protest actions. This was however also reflected in the rest of the world with numerous postscoming from various other countries in the world. The news and images of these protests and words of the actors were spread across theglobe in less than 24 hours.
Some notable timelines in discussions from the DA were:· DA Files papers to force Mr. Zuma to disclose Cabinet reshuffle records of decision· Judge rules that Mr. Zuma must supply reasons behind his cabinet reshuffle· Jacob Zuma misses the deadline to supply reasons and papers for his cabinet re-shuffle· Jacob Zuma files appeal to delay revealing his cabinet re-shuffle record of decision
Some other notable mentions were:· Guptas grabbed Optimum coal holdings from resources giant Glencore. When the time came to pay and they could not come up withthe money "Eskom lent a helping hand"· Major trends in discussions on Angus Buchan and his prayer meeting. The public rallied behind this opportunity to unite and pray forthe future of the country. People of all ages, races, genders and political backgrounds rallied to this meeting to pray for a better future.· Motion of no confidence in Jacob Zuma should be done through a secret ballot. This is a major move to assist people to vote against MrZuma and to cast aside fears of retaliation from the ANC.
Findings/Conclusion continue..
The following headline deserves a last mention:
From News24:· Boos for Zuma, Mbete and Duarte and cheers for Ramaphosa at Cosatu May Day rallies· The divisions in the tripartite alliance over the ANC's succession battle played out at Cosatu's nationwide May Day rallies withPresident Jacob Zuma and his "allies" booed while his deputy Cyril Ramaphosa was cheered and welcomed.· Ramaphosa was once again endorsed as the preferred candidate to take over from Zuma.· Zuma, African National Congress national chairperson Baleka Mbete and deputy-general secretary Jessie Duarte faced a torrid time infront of the labour federation members.· Zuma faced the worst embarrassment since ascending to ANC presidency in 2007 when unrelenting Cosatu members heckled andchanted anti-Zuma songs in his presence.· This forced the federation to prematurely end its main Worker's Day celebrations in Bloemfontein. In an unprecedented move allspeeches were cancelled and the event abandoned.
It seems that Mr Zuma will no longer be allowed to merely trample over public and this country without facing some consequences.
