President Cyril Ramaphosa added a heartwarming task to his public duties this week: Tying a child’s shoelaces.
During a walkabout at Canal Walk Shopping Centre in Cape Town, the president paused his greetings to help a young girl whose shoelaces had come undone.
In a moment trending on social media, Cyril Ramaphosa was seen placing his phone and bag on the ground before crouching down to tie the laces himself – an act met with smiles, applause, and a chorus of “Awww” from the surrounding crowd.
