This week's biggest stories on social media
Let's have a look at Acumen Media's weekly social media news roundup.
Following the Easter Weekend, the devastating floods in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal took precedent in the country's psyche this week. The news on social media was mostly sombre as the Sri Lanka attacks were also on everyone's minds.
Back home, citizens were giddy about Thabo Mbeki's endorsement of the ANC in the lead up to the General Elections. While the State Capture Inquiry wasn't on this week, it was still a hot topic.
In other news: former Eskom CEO Brian Molefe was asked to pay back the money; Mozambique, fresh off a cyclone, is preparing for more havoc as Cyclone Kenneth approaches its coastline; the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) was back in the spotlight after it fired its COO Chris Maroleng; and Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema's call for a media blackout before the elections rounds off the week's biggest stories on social media.
