Theresa May hasn’t exactly been doing well since she took up residence in Downing Street.

She also isn’t known for being ‘fun’. When an interviewer asked her about the “naughtiest thing she’d ever done”, she reminisced about running through wheat fields as a child, causing John Oliver to aptly rename her ‘Thatcher in the Rye’.

That said, it didn’t take the British Prime Minister long to get into the groove of things during her visit to Gugulethu in Cape Town this morning.

The Citizen reports:

On a visit to a school in the Gugulethu township, ID Mkhize Secondary, she put on a brave face while the kids sang and danced for her, and she joined in with a bit of a Madiba-esque shuffle.

Take a look at her dance moves:

Well, that was awkward. At least she didn’t go full Helen Zille and wear a doek on her head.

May told the students that her one-day working stop-over in Cape Town is her first visit to South Africa.

She is being hosted by President Cyril Ramaphosa, and is accompanied by about two-dozen British businesspeople.

“The working visit follows bilateral meetings between President Ramaphosa and Prime Minister May during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in London from 19 to 20 April 2018 and at the G7 in Canada on 8 to 9 June 2018,” said the Presidency.

“During the bilateral engagements, the two leaders discussed potential partnerships between the United Kingdom and South Africa and efforts to strengthen bilateral trade and investment relations.”

Let’s hope her diplomacy is better than her dance moves.
