SA turns Ramaphosa into mermaid

This past weekend, a new TikTok trend took the world by storm. The AI-generated content excited many people to hop on and enjoy an animated transformation of themselves.

The tool turns one’s image into a motion picture morphing into a mermaid underwater. A South African youngster, Patrick Scott, floored many when he used President Cyril Ramaphosa’s image.

He transformed him into a sea creature that most people found funny. Mzansi is famous for entertaining itself by exchanging light banter with its president.

The nation knows him as ‘Cupcake’ and often hypes him up when they see him in public. The president is normally cool with the silly content people put out online about him and acknowledges it during his speeches.
