With reference to this article on MyPE – Do you know Your Faker Score? – I had a look at comparisons between Helen Zille and THe SA President, Jacob Zuma’s Twitter account to see if I could determine a clear winner based on their Faker Score as well as Tweets, Followers, Followed and Follower Weight.
The results graph is below:
- JZ had the least number of ‘fake’ followers (23%), he tied with HZ on the number of ‘good’ followers (32% each), was a clear winner in the following stakes (following 6 – in MY book the less accounts you follow the better) and, as a consequence klapped the follower weight out of the park (25 428)
- HZ beat JZ on inactive followers (only 40%), number of tweets (13 385) and number of followers (172 386).
With three firsts and a tie to each, the results of the Twar between Helen and Jacob is a tie.
The numbers are below:

- 40% Inactive (68 954)
- 32% Good (55 164)
