Measured over 11 original posts, its engagement rate beats 25% of 3,862 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size

Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo's engagement rate beats 25% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 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 29% 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.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,350 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,576 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    Naphakade is crying because his scone is getting smaller but doesn’t actually acknowledge the fact the reason it’s getting smaller is because he’s eating it. I blame you, @Zulzi_SA. Abantwana bethuna.

What is Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo's engagement rate on X?
Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo (@tembisanxumalo) has an engagement rate of 0.006%, based on the median interactions across 11 original posts from the last 30 days against 482,302 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.006%, Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,350 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 @tembisanxumalo have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 25% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,862 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 @tembisanxumalo post?
Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.23 posts per day across the measured window.
