Twitter Trends in South Africa

What's trending on X in South Africa

This is the trend list X publishes for South Africa. X ranks topics by how fast people in South Africa are starting to post about them, not by their total size, so breaking news, live sport and TV, and new releases climb fastest. Expect many of them to be in English. The list changes most while people in South Africa are awake.

South Africa trends vs worldwide

X measures each location against what's normal for it, so a topic can top the South Africa list without appearing in worldwide trends at all. Trends on the For you tab in the X app are personalized to each person. This list is the same for everyone, which makes it a neutral view of what South Africa is talking about. Compare it with any other country above.
