Ten million of these users access Facebook via mobile devices while 1.6 million are using basic feature phones to browse the social network.
The study further says that 1.4 million South Africans access Facebook via their tablets

There will be some time nearby when the numbers will start to drop what do others think? Which year will that be?
It looks like it’s on the up and up for now. The increases are still higher each year so we will see: maybe in 5 years or until the next big social media platform takes off.
That’s madness how quickly it has increased in SA. I wonder what are the stats per city
Aidan, it is increasing continuously. I have no idea what the city stats are, but I can see by our stats.
