Even though President Cyril Ramaphosa pulled out of the 10km race he was supposed to do at the 2018 Old Mutual Soweto Marathon, Mzansi was still helluva impressed.
Ramaphosa took part in the race as part of his Thuma Mina campaign which encourages healthy living.
He got given the number one race number on the day and had support in the form of Sports Minister Tokozile Xasa, Gauteng Premier David Makhura and MEC for sport in Gauteng, Faith Mazibuko.

Ramaphosa pulled out of the race early because he had "other engagements" but Twitter was still in crush mode.
Obvs when you're doing a race with The Pres, you're going to aim for a selfie.
Twitter had their requests ready knowing that number one was going to be there.
