Lovers of dance music from countries including Namibia, Italy and SA flooded social media to share videos taking part in the #JerusalemaDanceChallenge. The song has been hailed for its ability to unite people across races and borders.
Master KG told TshisaLIVE that the success of Jerusalema reminds him of an all-time dance classic, Macarena.
