Meanwhile, Briefly News reported a funny clip of former president Jacob Zuma dancing hip-hop style has been shared online.
Mzansi politicians love a good dance clip and the latest to drop it low in front of a camera is none other than former president Jacob Zuma. In a clip shared by Daniel Marven, the ex-president is having the time of his life.
The video also features an elderly woman and a few younger women who are just as invested in the entertaining dance clip as he has. They can be seen dancing with big smiles on their faces clearly enjoying Zuma's burst of energy.
