A typical post picks up 648 interactions against 4.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.015%. Measured over 94 original posts, its engagement rate beats 60% of 982 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 30K times each, and 2.14% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.682% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 94 posts sampled, 87% carry an image or video and 10% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 22K interactions, about 34x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #voteeff, #victoryordeath, #asijiki.

Compared with accounts its own size

Julius Sello Malema's engagement rate beats 60% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (982 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 82% 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.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.015%, Julius Sello Malema sits above the 25th percentile of the 9,668 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.006% to 0.046%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 9,668 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 457,772 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 18:00 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. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 18:00 UTC.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video87% of posts+79%+73% to +84%5.7K

  • 87% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 10% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 196 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters run 5% below the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    In just a space of 2.5 years, over R 559 MILLION has been paid to 4 middleman companies at NSFAS. Imagine how much will be spent in 7 YEARS! Young people must never believe the LIE that we donโ€™t have enough money to FUND Education. The money is there. Itโ€™s just being STOLEN by comrades and their corrupt Ministers! Buti Manamela is refusing to respond to the EFF letter on this heist, sent on 14 July 2026. His friends must tell him we are not going to retreat on this fight.

What is Julius Sello Malema's engagement rate on X?
Julius Sello Malema (@Julius_S_Malema) has an engagement rate of 0.015%, based on the median interactions across 94 original posts from the last 30 days against 4,435,323 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.015%, Julius Sello Malema sits above the 25th percentile of the 9,668 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 @Julius_S_Malema have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 60% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (982 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 @Julius_S_Malema post?
Most posts go out around 18:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 6.97 posts per day across the measured window.
