REVEALED: The 1 African person Donald Trump follows on Twitter

Cape Town - As of Friday afternoon, USA President-elect Donald Trump has 16 475 944 Twitter followers, but only follows 40 companies and individuals.

Of those 40 companies and individuals, only ONE hails from the continent of Africa...

Several clever Sport24 readers recalled the connection between Trump and his love for golf, making that sole follower on the African continent likely a golfer.

And he is indeed!

And he's none other than South Africa's 'Black Knight' Gary Player!

Player, who has 301 709 followers on Twitter, does not follow Donald Trump on social media, but does follow his Trump Organisation.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
