GUEST - Lorato Tshenkeng, CEO of Decode Communications.
In this conversation, we dive into the latest findings from the South African Government Leaders on X Report 2025. We’re joined by Lorato Tshenkeng, CEO of Decode Communications, to discuss how government leaders are using X (formerly Twitter) to engage with South African citizens. The report highlights key trends in transparency, accountability, and citizen trust in the context of the country’s ongoing socio-economic challenges and its first Government of National Unity.
We’ll unpack the top performers in digital engagement, explore the credibility gaps, and examine the impact of crisis-driven communication. With key ministers experiencing significant growth on the platform, we explore what this means for the future of leadership and citizen interaction in South Africa.
