In a follow up to my post about the top 10 South African websites, I’ve trawled the web for the most up-to-date stats (which are surprisingly hard to find) on South Africa’s most popular social media sites. Seeing as a lot of South Africans communicate over mobile phones, I’ve included mobile IM networks as part of this list.
1. MXIT – 10 million users
2. Facebook – 6 million users
3. YouTube – 6 million users
4. Whatsapp – 4.6 million users
5. BBM – 3.3 million users
6. Twitter – 2.4 million users
7. Linkedin – 1.9 million users
8. 2Go – 1 million users
9. Google+ – 500 000 users
10. Pinterest – 150 000 users

Can’t believe that Mxit still has that many users!

I just wonder how many of those MXIT users are active?
