Sharing thoughts and ideas on business, security and photographyPlayers in #Afcon2013 with the most followers (Top 20)
Justin | No Comments » Posted on January 20, 2013Below is a list as at 3pm on 20/1/2013 of the Afcon#2013 players with the most followers. It is interesting to note that as per my previous post, South Africa has the highest percentage of players with Twitter accounts, yet, this list shows that none of those South African players makes the Top 10. The top 10 list is dominated by Ivory Coast (4), Nigera (2), Ghana (2) and one each from Mali and Togo. The first South African is Bernard Parker in 11th place.
Only 8 of the top 20 have had their accounts verified by Twitter.
