“In a world where social media continues to play a big
role, the influence of African entertainers and footballers, the crème
of popular culture on our continent, continues to fascinate and that is
why we have compiled this list,” .
“We have tried as much as possible to gather the top African pop and
sport celebritis into the list in order to show their influence across
the three key social media platforms of Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
We hope that the Power Report will be an annual ranking to gauge their
growing impact as well as enable market planners and researchers to see
the possibilities inherent in their influence.”
