2. South Africans never seize to amaze. We can turn any serious situation and make it humorous. This follows after #ThingsDineoShouldLeaveWith gained momentum after the tropical cyclone swept through Mozambique heading to South Africa. It soon became something else!

3. #KasiMlungu trended on twitter after her published article made the rounds on social media. She was confronted with heavy criticism, some saying she can never be black enough to fit in the township. Will racism ever end?

5. #SONADEBATE was the talk of twitter during the week. Obviously, South Africans have a great sense of humour. Social media users made sure that they scrutinise the debate and make funny memes.
