WATCH: Ramaphosa’s Mafikizolo dance sparks X frenzy
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has once again become the talk of social media, this time for his dance moves during a performance by the popular musical duo Mafikizolo.
The President, who was attending a public event, was captured on video joining in the rhythmic dance steps as the duo performed one of their hit songs. The footage quickly made its way to the platform formerly known as Twitter, now X, where it sparked a flurry of reactions from users across the country.
It is not every day you see the President letting his hair down and showing off his dance skills,
one user commented, while others praised his ability to connect with the crowd through music and dance. Some users, however, took the opportunity to create memes and light-hearted jokes about the President’s performance.
This is not the first time President Ramaphosa has been seen engaging in light-hearted moments in public. He has previously been captured in various informal settings, often showing a more relaxed side of his personality that resonates with many South Africans.
The video has since garnered thousands of views and shares, highlighting the power of social media in shaping public perception of political figures and the enduring popularity of Mafikizolo’s music.
