“The annual Year in Search results are a good example of Google’s commitment to organising the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful, in action. This year’s results show that Google is a trusted source of information when South Africans are uncertain, sad, or looking for ways to learn more or entertain themselves,” said Google SA country director Dr Alistair Mokoena.
Late rapper Riky Rick's death was the most searched loss, followed by Queen Elizabeth II, Patrick Shai and DJ Sumbody.
Riky Rick, real name Rikhado Makhado, died earlier this year. He was 34 years old.
He burst into mainstream fame with his platinum certified release Family Values in 2015 after making a name for himself and asserting his influence in SA hip-hop culture for several years behind the scenes.
His brand became synonymous with fashion because of his style and love for fine clothes and culture. He became an icon for all the cool kids and a light for upcoming artists who he embraced publicly.
One of his greatest achievements, in addition to his music legacy, is the establishment of Cotton Festival, which took place in Cape Town at the weekend.
