Woman floored by Ramaphosa statue in Sandton

South Africans were floored by a woman’s reaction after seeing the 2022 statue of President Cyril Ramaphosa in Sandton Mall. A young Mzansi lady, Lady Amar, accompanied her mother to the mall and was highly entertained.

They spotted the statue, and Amar’s mom could not keep it together. She laughed uncontrollably as she saw the monument’s finer details and the accuracy of the president’s posture.

The pair laughed at the attentiveness of the artist and drew a bit of attention to themselves at the mall. Amar’s mom could barely walk as she was dusted.

The youngster explained that her mother laughed so hard at the statue that it was removed from the mall a week after:

“Even if you lived around, this was in 2022, and they removed it in Sandton City a week later after my mom laughed at him.”

Amar captioned her now-viral post:

“POV: Your mom saw Ramaphosa’s statue for the first time and she laughed uncontrollably. I’ve never seen anyone laugh this much at s statue. She asked why they made him stand like that.”

The mom called other people to tell them about the statue. She could barely get her words out and laughed the whole time.
