Abstract:
Digital technology (ICT) has an important role to play in enhancing South African democracy. In an interconnected world, Web 2.0 and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, MXit and YouTube fulfil the role of 'public sphere' by facilitating social interactions as well as civic and political participation, maintains Narnia Bohler-Muller.
