Cue the #MaskChallenge! President's mask slip-up has social media in stitches
As usual President Cyril Ramaphosa was a tad unpunctual as he appeared on TV to give an update on the state of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country. But as always, he was eloquent and oh so dignified as he delivered his speech β right up until the very end that is.
As Ramaphosa bid Mzansi goodnight, he did what all responsible South Africans should be doing right now: he masked up β or at least he attempted to. Aiming to cover his mouth and nose with a fabric mask, the president ended up donning it like an airplane sleep mask instead.

It was only a second or two before the president correctly adjusted his mask, but social media users were quick off the mark β cue the #maskchallenge!
Twitter has since been flooded with snaps of people sporting masks 'Ramaphosa-style'. Some are improvising and using everything from ice trays to condoms as blindfolds-cum-masks.
One user kindly excused Ramaphosa's blunder saying, βMara guys it was nerves lol ... He's still the best president SA has had in a long time.β
