Watch: President Cyril Ramaphosa dances to Mnike

Tyler ICU’s song Mnike has taken the world by storm, especially TikTok where a dance challenge by TikToker @ro.makka had been choreographed. The dance has been performed by many and was most recently attempted by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

A clip of the South African leader jamming to the viral hit was posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Head of Digital Communications in the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa, Athi Geleba.
