Barack Obama gave a long address at the 16th annual Nelson Mandela Lecture on Tuesday, which included some thinly-veiled barbs at the current incumbent of the White House.
One moment that did raise quite a chuckle, however, was when Cyril Ramaphosa chirped him about his dancing, saying that he will never rival Madiba for his moves.
The 44th president of the US began his lecture by saying that he actually reckons he is a fine dancer, but that both Michelle and Madiba have him beat.
Before he touched down in South Africa, he popped past Kenya. During his visit, he couldn’t help but do a little jig:

Not as flamboyant as some of the moves we have seen from him in the past, but a solid effort.
For a point of comparison, here’s one of my favourite George Bush boogies of all time. Look at his face from the 35-second mark:
More recently, he also squeaked some tekkie at his nephew’s wedding – you can see those moves here.
I would show you Trump dancing, but I don’t want you to lose your brekkie just yet.
