President Cyril Ramaphosa claims the ANC helped amapiano music become successful.
In a video doing the rounds on social media, Ramaphosa says the governing party introduced amapiano to other countries.
“Today, people in New York, Lagos, and Nigeria are dancing to amapiano because of the doors that have been opened by this ANC government”, Fakaza reported.
“Young people are excelling in amapiano and they are trying to teach me to dance to amapiano.”
The video received many negative comments with some social media users saying the president was lying.
“Lies: 68%. Unemployment: 32%,” one user commented.
Another wrote: “When amapiano artists were struggling to get visas for international bookings, the entire government was quiet! They don’t give a damn about amapiano, arts and entertainment in general. They only care about sports.”
Wrote another: “The only president that can lie with a straight face.”
