With elections, floods, the Springboks winning the Rugby World Cup, the slow collapse of SAA, and the return of load shedding: 2019 has been a jam-packed year. Here are some of the top search terms that consumers typed into Google this year.
The top 10 trending searches
- Load shedding
- Election results
- Thanos
- IEC
- Fiona Viotti
- Black Friday Specials
- Gavin Watson
- Mark Batchelor
- Teacher’s Day
- Hoerskool Driehoek
An interesting list that’s not too surprising. Load shedding and Eskom are likely to remain in top of the search polls as long as Eskom continues to implement rolling blackouts, while election results and the IEC fall in nicely with all the election events of early 2019.
