Given blogging is such a big deal at the moment, I couldn’t resist putting together this blog post on the Top 20 Female Bloggers in South Africa (other than myself of course :P). These women are very well known in the blogging community and given their popularity, I’m sure we can all learn a thing or 2 about these lovely ladies!
I’ve included links to their Twitter profiles and websites to help you get to know them a little better AND I have included what blogging platform they are using in case you are thinking of starting your own blog and are still deciding what to run it on.
Please Note:
- These have not be done in ANY particular order.
- Top bloggers listed below are based on various aspect in research me and my team has done – includes Twitter popularity, Social Media, general media coverage, aggregators, search engine rankings and general popularity.

If this comment comes through twice, apologies.
I thought I would introduce myself. I am not a huge twitter user and feel that bloggers who don’t use it are easily overseen. I’m not counting myself up there, but just wanted to say, hey, I’m also here.

[…] Top 20 Female Bloggers in South Africa blog post was so well received, so I couldn’t resist putting one for the men together. It was […]
I’m not sure of her “rankings” because she just made her blog public, but a definite up and coming female blogger is Aisha of My Fro and I. She blogs about her natural hair and offers great advice and insight into hair care, styles and inspires other women who are or were too scared to wear their natural hair, like me. Now that I found her blog, I’ve stopped relaxing my hair. A great read and she’s really cute too!
