1. UJ students make Ramaphosa proud with Jerusalema challenge
President Cyril Ramaphosa recently called on South Africans to continue flying the SA flag high by dancing along to Master KG and Nomcebo's Jerusalema. This after the song became a national and international success.
Ever since then, there have been an influx in clips of people getting their Jerusalema on. While there have been many failed attempts, most people seem to know exactly how to move their bodies to the beat.
The most recent bunch to heed President Cyril's call, are the students of the University of Johannesburg. The crew recently took to their official Facebook page to share the vibey video of themselves breaking it all the way down.

Cassper Nyovest has taken to social media to share his views on Master KG and Nomcebo's record-breaking smash Jerusalema. The rapper believes that the internationally-recognised song will hit a billion views on YouTube.
The Amademoni hitmaker, who is one of the most successful artists in Mzansi, expressed that he is inspired by the success of the single by his country's musicians.
