President Cyril Ramaphosa is getting some major shade served to him on social media, courtesy of his recent infamous taste in fashion.

What fashion item or items, you ask? Well, this comes in the form of a shirt that is eerily reminiscent of the sort only one man could rock and look stylish while at it.

You guessed it, the famous Nelson Mandela shirt, or as some would call it, "Madiba shirt". Hosting his usual Sunday family meeting, Ramaphosa thought it would be a good idea to revive the old fashion item.

Eased lockdown restrictions announced

During the highly-anticipated address, the president provided the nation with an update on the country’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

His remarks about the vaccine roll-out programme, and the importance of getting the jab, were rivalled by discussions about the shirt he wore for the scheduled address.

However, an unassuming Ramaphosa cut a confident figure as he announced an adjusted lockdown Alert Level 2, a move that Saffas en masse welcomed.

SA can't deal after one woman’s hilarious interview

In related funny news, Briefly News previously reported that a Durban woman's live interview had South Africans in stitches on social media.

The hilarious interview sent tongues wagging all over Twitter with the trending hashtag 'Really Ramaphosa' blazing a trail online.

Introducing herself as Nontokozo to the TV news reporter who'd asked her what she had been taking, supposedly as the woman was an alleged looter, the woman went on a frantic tirade by aiming digs at Ramaphosa.

Outing him, Nontokozo boldly asked Ramaphosa if he cared before suggesting to him in an assured way that he should leave for Kenya.
