Role of social media in the digital age

As a future PR professional writing a blog was something that I always anticipated and I guess now is the time, let's see how people and organisations interact on social media.

It is the way of conveying message to the specific audience, organisations sees it as a platform to engage with their customers. I personally think most people don’t find it as the useful tool of interacting instead they misuse it for example people complain and criticise brands. The main role of social media is to give organisations a feedback from their customers, However I believe that it is for the market, for example most organisations use the Social media to market themselves which is very easy for them to reach their targeted audience.

The Nkandla report serenades social networks

The controversially built Nkandla

So… our President, JZ decided to spend R250m on his homestead upgrade. The news was all over the social networks but what we got on the report was so different because Mr President was not aware about the upgrade at his home just like any random resident from Soweto who was given RDPs by the government without any quotations or even asks how can I pay? But instead they just take a house and say government ANC is doing good, so with this Nkandla issue don’t you think the President of South Africa deserve better house? And I think Mr Jacob Zuma is doing a good thing to upgrade his deep-rooted   home because if he was just any other President he would upgrade or have a house most expensive places like Sandton or even Houghton. People must look this matter in different angles before they even judge JZ hence he didn’t ask for this upgrade, so don’t you think maybe some other haters of Jacob Zuma want to let our President down ? 

Comportment on social network towards the Nkandla report

I strongly believe that most South African people don’t utilise the powerful of social networks correctly, for example @MichelleMichie  from Twitter even made a joke about this matter saying that 

''With all the SARS thanks u ads Nandos should do one with Jz saying thank you for helping build a future for his wife’s and family #nkandla''
