DISCLAIMER – the tone of this observation is NOT because Athol Trollip follows MyPE on Twitter and Mongameli Bobani doesn’t. No sour grapes involved here.
Lets have a look at the Twitter Numbers as at 30 August 2018:
Mongameli Bobani has tweeted 194 tweets, is Following 1 365 people, has 847 Followers and has Liked 59 tweets.
Athol Trollip has tweeted 11 700 tweets, is Following 527 people, has 25 900 Followers, has Liked 489 tweets and appears on 2 Lists.
So, if determining who is the most likely to be Mayor was up to Twitter, then @AtholT would kick @MongameliB’s proverbial butt.
