Mmusi Maimane MP engagement report
@MmusiMaimane - 2.1M followers on X
Measured over 14 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 1, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 24 interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 19% of 3,809 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 13K times each, and 0.182% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.605% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.1 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 14 posts sampled, 86% carry an image or video, 7% are part of a thread and 7% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.9K interactions, about 457x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Mmusi Maimane MP's engagement rate beats 19% 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 18% 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.

You cannot use hate speech, incite violence and then claim you are not responsible for the violence caused by your rhetoric. You cannot march around looting and beating South Africans who do not speak like you or look like you and then be surprised that you inspired harm.

Dear @SAPoliceService and @SAReserveBank I am informed that the person of interest @wicknellchivayo is currently in South Africa. Time to arrest him asap. This is the same chap who was meeting with @CyrilRamaphosa on the @edmnangagwa farm and is linked to money laundering. https://t.co/uOWDMcBag4

I condemn unequivocally the decision taken by Emerson. As South Africa we cannot sit back and watch the eroding of democracy and constitutionalism in Zim.

ā¼ļøA warning to all South Africans ā¼ļø If Zimbabwe becomes a family dictatorship and dynasty of the Mnangagwa family, the influx of Zimbabweans into South Africa will be ten times higher. The illegal immigration we are all debating about is caused by two corrupt political parties; Zanu PF in Zimbabwe and FRELIMO party in Mozambique. If we want to reduce illegal immigration in this country we have to address the root causes in addition to: š„STRONGER BORDERS and š„STRONGER ENFORCEMENT of the immigration act. Do not ignore what is happening next door because it directly impacts our country. Do not ignore it because the corrupt Zimbabwean politicians and businessmen now are corrupting our economy and politicians with their cigarette money, gold mafia money and dirty dollars. These two Zimbabwean crooks are trying to take South Africa down a path of disaster. We must challenge @CyrilRamaphosa to cut all ties with Zanu PF and strongly oppose the banana republic constitutional amendment to give Mnangagwa endless time in office.

You canāt solve the immigration crisis in South Africa without directly calling out Zanu PF and FRELIMO. They are the root cause of undocumented mass immigration in South Africa. They have been enabled to stay in power by the ANC which has ignored rigged elections and developed relationships with these corrupt regimes and their crony capitalist crooks.

"We do need to address the challenge of migration. When it is well managed and regulated, migration can help to drive economic growth and opportunity for all. However, we need to deal with illegal migration. We have seen how illegal immigration into our country can put pressure on our public services and undermine our efforts to create decent work for all." - President Cyril Ramaphosa.

- What is Mmusi Maimane MP's engagement rate on X?
- Mmusi Maimane MP (@MmusiMaimane) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 14 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,133,540 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, Mmusi Maimane MP sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,852 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 @MmusiMaimane have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 19% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 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 @MmusiMaimane post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.1 posts per day across the measured window.
