Memes are becoming the order of the day and netizens can’t spend a single day without checking them out and enjoying a good laughter.
South Africans, however, recently found that a familiar face they have been seeing on most of these memes is not just an anybody but the President of Kenya.
Televised address
During the just concluded Global Citizen Festival that saw artists like Beyonce and Jay Z perform, South Africans were left in stitches after learning that President Uhuru Kenyatta is actually the man in those meme during his speech in the event.
Uhuru sent a televised address that was aired during the Global Citizen concert and that’s when it all clicked. South Africans took to social media to show their shock.
Here’s what they had to say.
