Sipho Ramaru
A partially anonymous, popular Twitter user who has nothing else going for them. This is a definition of a tweleb according to Urban Dictionary.

Twelebs live for RTs and ":''''D"s from their followers as they tweet ignorant, sometimes funny and mostly offensive content all in the name of retaining their Tweleb status. Every Tweleb's avatar change is welcomed with dozens of "Avi appreciations" from their followers, to which they're usual reply is something like: "Wow. Humbled."

They are easily recognisable by their amount of followers on Twitter (usually 5000 or more). Their Twitter names are usually their Instagram name or a name promoting the latest cool kid gathering e.g: #coolkidgathering15Oct!!

Basically a tweleb is an individual who is a twitter celebrity and in most cases. . .their vocations are just perfecting being a twitter pest to people who are doing something productive with their lives. Another “fun” thing they do is gun down for real life celebrities in the name of attention, trending and being cool. . .stupidly cool.

Celebrity is a public figure getting attention from the media. In most cases, celebrity status is habitually associated with wealth and fame, and celebrities can easily provide opportunities to make money. Successful careers in sports and entertainment are commonly associated with celebrity status.

Should celebrities pay attention to twelebs? NO! Well in most cases they know which buttons to push when it comes to provoking celebrities and they always succeed in their imprudent acts.

Phumakim hit maker Cassper Nyovest is the latest celebrity victim of twelebs. On Monday evening, twitter was flooding with insults gunned at Nyovest that even other celebrities were feeling sorry for the homey! There are other celebrities who find themselves in the same situation in most cases. . .One that is a regular of these acts has to be Sizwe Dlhomo. I think it has reached a point where he doesn’t even care anymore and instead of getting anything personal, he just shot back!

Urban Dictionary continues to say:
Though many of them aren't bad people, they live pretty mediocre lives and for most being a Tweleb is probably as good as it'll ever get for them.

A grown-ass man who still lives with his Mom but still hasn't gotten that Diploma that's taking him at least 5 years (and counting) to complete because he is too busy chasing "ez'weyi".

Cassper Nyovest is arguably the biggest hip hop artist in the game right now, locally. . .He is out there almost every day making the kinda money that most of us haven’t even seen yet! Sizwe Dhlomo on the other hand, is a decent business-man making moves of his own.

Spot the difference between the two. . .choose wisely when choosing a career or what to do with your life!
