Twitter weighs in on Jacob Zuma and Bonang Matheba's exchange
On Monday, social media newcomer Jacob Zuma posted a video, to which Bonang Matheba replied: "You look happier without us Baba."
Unable to sit anything out, Twitter chipped in the conversation in hilarious fashion.
The former president tweeted a video showing him enthusiastically playing soccer with young children.
Bonang responded that Zuma was looking better since leaving office.
You look happier without us Baba. π

Zuma, who seems to be settling in just fine on Twitter, replied to Queen B: "I have missed everyone, I said we would meet somewhere. Being here has reunited all of us. I am here now."
It was then that the Twitter floodgates opened, with varying degrees of sincerity. One person playfully remarked that Matheba was "lucky" to be chatting with the former president. Other people just want to hang out with Zuma in Nkandla.
