Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 7 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 143K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Posts are seen about 831 times each, and 0.722% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.582% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.23 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 57% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 334 interactions, about 56x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #da_gpl, #daatwork, #rescuesa. Only 7 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 10:00 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.

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 | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 57% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 57% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 253 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
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.

“Disgraceful” R5.9m Venezuela trip puts Gauteng Legislature Speaker under pressure. 12-day trip for a 4-day fair. R1.5m in daily allowances.

Where is the accountability? R197.4 million helicopter contract. R156.4 million already paid. Airwing now grounded. Four officials implicated. Zero suspensions. Still on full pay. Gauteng is flying borrowed helicopters while taxpayers foot the bill. @MichaelSun168 @Lesufi Read more: https://t.co/pjWLQZryEI

Grand dreams, broken outcomes. Lesufi talks of high-speed trains and smart schools while abandoned housing projects and failed initiatives litter Gauteng. Hundreds of millions wasted. Almost no consequences. Residents deserve delivery, not more dreams. #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL Read more: https://t.co/OgBYIWdwtK

Lesufi’s big investment pledges are falling flat — only R89 billion of R518 billion has materialised. DA Leader Solly Msimanga MPL has exposed the gap between Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s promises and reality. Despite hosting multiple investment conferences, the province has secured less than 20% of the R518.1 billion pledged over the last two years. Crime, failing infrastructure, water and electricity outages are driving investors away. Companies like Libstar have been forced to close after going 25 shifts without water. The DA will write to MEC Vuyiswa Ramokgopa and Premier Lesufi demanding answers and urgent action to restore investor confidence through reliable services and stronger policing. Gauteng is the economic heart of South Africa it must work for businesses and create jobs. #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL #GautengEconomy #FixInvestorConfidence Read more: https://t.co/CE2E95cJnj

DA tables motion of censure against GPL Speaker for R5.9m Venezuela trip. 13-person delegation. R125 000 allowances each. Four-day fair already covered by BrandSA. While residents struggle for basic services. Accountability is non-negotiable. #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL #EndWastefulSpending YouTube: https://t.co/xHwDzk0bXx

Johannesburg Water crews are on site in Bryanston at the DA's media briefing on President Cyril Ramaphosa's National Water Crisis Plan. The party chose the location because of a recent water infrastructure failure in the area. #SAWaterCrisis #NationalWaterCrisisPlan https://t.co/Nl45J7aJ96

DA votes against the 2026/2027 Gauteng Budget — it fails to prioritise residents’ real needs. The Democratic Alliance rejected the budgets for all provincial departments. Despite billions available, the ANC-led government has once again failed to deliver on crime, collapsing infrastructure, unemployment, failing healthcare, and basic service delivery. From the Office of the Premier to Health, Education, Human Settlements, and more — this budget puts bureaucracy and political protection ahead of the people. Other parties chose to vote for it to safeguard their positions, but the DA chose residents. We have a clear plan to grow the economy, create jobs, restore quality healthcare, rebuild infrastructure, strengthen safety, and eliminate corruption. Gauteng deserves a government that works for its people. #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL #GautengBudget #PutResidentsFirst Read more: https://t.co/nIwkhNdWZp

Happy Birthday, Solly Msimanga MPL! Today we celebrate a fearless leader, dedicated public servant, and our Leader of the Official Opposition in Gauteng. Your strong voice holding the Lesufi government to account, exposing corruption, and championing real solutions for the people of Gauteng continues to inspire us all. Wishing you a wonderful day filled with joy, strength and renewed energy as you lead the DA’s fight for a better province. Thank you for your leadership! #HappyBirthdaySolly #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL

DA opposes Gauteng Health Budget — it fails to fix deep leadership, governance and accountability failures. Persistent instability, irregular appointments and poor management continue to cause long surgery backlogs, cancer delays and failing hospitals. Patients deserve better. #DAatWork #RescueSA #DA_GPL #GautengHealth
