Jacob Zuma's killer pose sends Twitter into overdrive

"Hi it is me, Jacob Zuma."

If you thought this tweet from the former president was his best, then you have not seen his most recent post.

Zuma is dominating the platform's trends list after posting a picture of himself striking a pose with a cigar in his mouth. 

The picture, which has been liked more than 7,000 times since it was posted less than 24 hours ago, has had his followers laughing.

Some have saved the picture on their phones, others have hailed him the "master of memes" and there are those who have said they, too, will smoke cigars from now on.

The picture is captioned "When in Rome..."

Tweeps, including the ANC's elections head, Fikile Mbalula, flooded the comments section.

Here are some of the reactions:
