Hive Statistics

The South Africa List: June 2024

Introduction

I have been compiling lists of Hivers in various countries using @hivesql. The profile location data is not very consistent, but I try to group people by area when there are a few. There may be some mistakes due to my lack of local knowledge.

Other Countries

Currently there are lists like this for:

UK
Ghana
Nigeria
Romania
Netherlands by @michelmake

Commentary

As with other countries I have tried to break the list down by places that are given in Hive profiles. I started with a list of major cities from Wikipedia, but many of those gave no results. I would like the local community to take over this list as they will know better how to split it up. They will also know of people I did not find in my queries.

South Africa has one Orca and a few Dolphins. It has a similar population to the UK and so there is lots of potential for growth. I do not know how well known Hive is there. Not many have joined in the last year. It would not surprise me if we had more active in the past as that is a common trend. We need to bring people back.

I did not find any witnesses.

A Brit charting Africa? Wait a moment!

(Okey, this is kinda innapropriate, but I couldn't help myself 😉)
@lizelle(79)· 814d
Awesome @steevc, I must have been floating somewhere out at sea off the East Coast of SA, but I see @zakludick spotted me missing in action ;)
@kamuhive(54)· 814d
Awesome 😊

Thanks @steevc
@therneau(64)· 814d
Ahhh, this is great. @lizelle, not too sure if she's on here. I don't see her but might have missed it

Hey @steevc, here is a little bit of BEER from @joanstewart for you. Enjoy it!

We love your support by voting @detlev.witness on HIVE .
@joanstewart(75)· 814d
Great list, many SAffers have come and gone, many still here with new arrivals. Team South Africa started with a great listing on the other platform.

Regional posting has not pulled through too well eg. Jacoalberts, Lizelle, Artywink and myself are all Greater Durban. Papilloncharity, urban-scout with many others are in the Cape Province.
