Measured over 14 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 20, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 27 interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 14 original posts, its engagement rate beats 20% of 983 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 8.0K times each, and 0.339% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.373% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.8 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 14 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 7% are part of a thread. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 6.9K interactions, about 254x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #buildonesa, #gotr.

Compared with accounts its own size
Mmusi Maimane MP's engagement rate beats 20% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (983 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 27% 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 Tuesday 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.

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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +79% | +73% to +84% | 5.7K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.0K |
| Typical length | - | -5% | -7% to -4% | 7.8K |
- 100% 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.
- 0% 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 245 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.

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 2,133,800 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 above the 10th 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 @MmusiMaimane have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 20% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (983 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 08:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.8 posts per day across the measured window.
