President Cyril Ramaphosa has laughed off memes after he struggled to put his mask on during his address on Thursday night.


The incident caused social media to take the mickey out of the president, with memes about the coronavirus and load-shedding hitting at the same time.

"Well for those who were laughing at me yesterday, now let me tell you something, I am going to open a TV channel where I am going to teach people how to put on a mask.

So you can enroll so that you can learn how a mask is put on", he said.

Ramaphosa was speaking outside the Charlotte Maxeke Hospital on Friday after he visited several quarantine facilities in Gauteng.

The president was accompanied by Gauteng premier David Makhura.
