Engagement
A typical post picks up 244 interactions against 1.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 43 original posts, its engagement rate beats 53% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 28K times each, and 0.862% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.80% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 43 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video and 12% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 115K interactions, about 473x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Floyd Shivambu's engagement rate beats 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 52% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

Statement attributable to the FIFA President The FIFA Forward Enterprise project was intended to provide a basis for further strengthening our FIFA Member Associations and our sport worldwide, especially in those countries where support is most needed. And more so, as we said from the outset, to do this only if a majority of the FIFA Member Associations were in support and always subject to a consultation process with them, the FIFA Council, the Confederations and wider stakeholders. Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place. Our purpose has always been - and will always be - to unite and improve. As a result, this proposal will not proceed. Moving forward, my intent is to bring all interested parties back together in the coming days and weeks in the spirit of shared interest in our game, and with the objective to continue growing football everywhere, particularly in those countries that mostly need our support.

General Mkhwanazi is raising a legitimate and valid point about tenders. Why is government issuing tenders while there is an option of building internal capacity to delivery services directly? Tenders are at the centre of corruption by all the political parties currently in government. Mayibuye’s policy is centred on building solid government capacity to build and maintain public infrastructure, and not tenders. It is Jobs, Water and Service Delivery Now!

Yesterday, the 5th of August 2026, we were victims of theft at the Waterfront in Cape Town before attending the MAYIBUYE Councillor candidates verification meeting. A thief whose images we later found from the Waterfront Security/Control Room broke into the hired car we were using and stole the travel handbag, hand bag, and backpack which had a laptop (MacBook Pro), 2 iPads, watches, personal ID cards, Bank cards, and other basic necessities. We opened a police case with the SAPS in Cape Case registered on 2026-08-05 at TABLE BAY HARBOUR Police Station. ref nr CAS 9/8/2026. The contact number of the Police Station is 021-4031000. There were also other theft victims who were reporting similar crimes at the police station.’ The images attached here are the photos of the alleged thief retrieved by the @VandAWaterfront Security/Control room and handed over to the SAPS. We hope the culprits will be arrested and the stolen items recovered. We soldier on and no amount of distraction will stop our march towards victory! No retreat!

- What is Floyd Shivambu's engagement rate on X?

- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.015%, Floyd Shivambu sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @FloydShivambu have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 53% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @FloydShivambu post?
- Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.07 posts per day across the measured window.
