Why Uhuru is a trending meme in South Africa
President Uhuru Kenyatta has become a subject of memes in the South African Twitter sphere.
South Africans who were following the Global Citizen Festival realized they had been using President Kenyatta’s photos in memes.
This is after President Kenyatta’s televised address was aired during the Global Citizen concert.
South Africa’s Cyril Ramaphosa had invited African heads of state to the Festival that was in honour of Nelson Mandela’s legacy marking 100 years since his birth in 1918.
Ghanian, Rwandese and Sierra Leone president’s attended the festival that featured a Sunday concert with performances by stars like Beyoncé, Jay Z, Usher and Pharrell Williams.
The festival was co-hosted by Oprah Winfrey.
