An Acumen Media Report 7 days. Last week my report was titled “100 days to Elections”, I also said that we are seeing a very different type of electioneering around us.  #PresidentRamphosa announced this week that the elections will be held in October as he stood at the port in […]

An Acumen Media Report over 7 days It was a strange week with no one big story to dominate, after the Easter Weekend I think most of us either couldn’t be bothered or were drowning in the workload of a four-day week.  Worse still was the fact that I had […]

An Acumen Media Report 7 days #BouldersMall started to trend, when I opened the feed I saw #Clicks and I expected a racist story (my brain is so conditioned) yet this time I was confronted with a new “ism” for me, “tribalism”.  We call it Xenophobia when it’s from outside […]

The headlines broke last week as I was closing off the weekly report. King Goodwill Zwelithini had passed away. Today those posts and headlines exceed 80 thousand items with over 330 thousand engagements, a nation cries, “The King is Dead”, Long Live the King.  Bayede Wena we Ndlovu! The death […]

An Acumen Media Report 7 days. This week began with #Ramaphosamustfall and #MatamelaMustGo, these hashtags came the day after the #NkandlaTeaParty, so it was obvious that #PaidTwitter was out in force.  Their mandate, the #Astrazeneca #Vaccine.  Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like the whole thing from helicopter […]

An Acumen Media Report over 7 days Where do I begin? I find myself constantly writing about the #StateCaptureCommission and I thought, is it just me that is obsessed?  Then I reassured myself that everything relies on this Inquiry, everything. #DCJZondo must show his mettle now and can’t be the […]

An Acumen Media Report – 7 days I’m late this morning.  The laptop showed me a blue screen of death, you know that feeling when you realise you haven’t backed up and you are on major deadline, that cold sweat and your stomach sinks? Well, I’ve been in that state […]

An Acumen Media Report – 7 Days Did you miss me? I have been hiding away in case the world realises that 2021 is upon us.  It feels like everyone is holding a collective breath and moving quietly amongst the carnage that is unfolding amongst us. Headlines hit yesterday and […]
