ANC - African National Congress engagement report
@MYANC - 1.2M followers on X
Measured over 138 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 23 interactions against 1.2M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 138 original posts, its engagement rate beats 17% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 3.3K times each, and 0.693% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.275% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.5 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 138 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.3K interactions, about 144x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ancmanifesto2026, #voteanc2026, #letsbuildbettercommunities.

Compared with accounts its own size
ANC - African National Congress's engagement rate beats 17% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 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 41% 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 12:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

The ANC will introduce a monitoring mechanism to track implementation across every municipality from the first day of governance. Each municipality will have its own manifesto, monitored by the Secretary-General’s Office, allowing communities to see what was promised, what has been completed, what is delayed and what corrective action is being taken. 📍#ANCManifesto2026 launch, Riverside, Diepsloot #VoteANC2026

We will not dismiss the frustration of our people or offer excuses where they rightly expect more. We have travelled across the country to listen and learn, and the message is clear: the ANC has good policies and values, but our people now want implementation and action. We have heard them, and we will act. 📍#ANCManifesto2026 launch, Riverside, Diepsloot #VoteANC2026

- What is ANC - African National Congress's engagement rate on X?
- ANC - African National Congress (@MYANC) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 138 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,206,175 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, ANC - African National Congress sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 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 @MYANC have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 17% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size 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 @MYANC post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.5 posts per day across the measured window.
