Caster Semenya, one of South Africa’s most recognisable athletes has definitely had her fair share of challenges. However, her Twitter account is primarily filled with inspirational content, with a few action shots from her latest races thrown in for good measure.

Emma Sadlier, a social media law specialist, frequently shares insights about the potential dangers of social media, with a good mix of quirky articles and news too.
Quick recent fact here: @EmmaSadleir help me out I got this from you – Twitter is turning into an increasingly negative platform, and Instagram the opposite. Here be trolls.

Wow! This is fascinating. Default judgment of R3million for defamation. Never seen an award like this in SA. Love the idea of the #TheDefamationFundZA Congrats @ShakaSisulu https://t.co/uHHzUx5vtN

Nomboniso Gasa, a professor at the University of Cape Town, often tweets about social justice issues and speaks out against various political leaders in South Africa. She’s not shy to critique Twitter users making her both an insightful and entertaining figure to follow.
So, you can hold your on most subjects and issues? But how well do you know your body? How in tune are you, with your internal being? I’m off to hospital for a dangerous condition, which was a symptomatic in my case. How did I get her here? I know my body & went to see my Dr.

I judge the ANCGP, purely on the grounds of what it professes. So, when I see Qedani Mahlangu, Brian Hlongwa on the list, I will not shut up. As for Qedani, she should have known better and declined nomination. @debsh12 @AdvDali_Mpofu

.@BamBonile exhibits his visual portrayal of Mandela’s ‘Long Walk to Freedom.’ Curated by inimitable Thembinkosi Goniwe, master aesthetist & visual historian. With @mandla_langa whose pen brings us history, memory and creative birth of the new. @PolityZA @RaymondSuttner #Mandela https://t.co/fcT8fpKavg

Anim van Wyk, the editor of Africa Check, an organisation dedicated to fact-checking, often shares the latest work by Africa Check and shares insights into articles and quotes which perhaps didn’t get the facts 100 per cent correct.
UPDATE: We have a person who doesn't read past the headline here. The article criticised the way Stats SA *released* the data.
There have been problems with Stats SA data (see here: https://t.co/s0UUzLRHle) but the trolls simply don't care for the facts. https://t.co/MR3RxZD9qn
