ANC PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA ON AMAPIANO SUCCESS
Social media users couldn’t believe their ears after watching President Cyril Ramaphosa in a video claiming that the success of Amapiano is because of the ANC.
In the clip, Ramaphosa could be heard saying, “Today, people in New York, Lagos, and Nigeria are dancing to Amapiano because of the doors that have been opened by this ANC government”.
Needless to say, the President’s speech caused quite a stir on social media. Netizens have since taken to the comment section to disagree with Ramaphosa’s claims.
The President delivered the ANC’s January 8 statement at the Mbombela Stadium in Mpumalanga earlier this year, TshisaLIve reported. He was reported to have also thanked the youth for excelling in making the Amapiano music genre a global success. Ramaphosa also revealed that he is learning how to dance to Amapiano.
“Young people are excelling in Amapiano and they are trying to teach me to dance to Amapiano,” Ramaphosa was quoted as saying.
