The legislators had been practising for the challenge for at least two days so as to make it perfect and shoot their own version of the challenge.

Kimunya said it was necessary for the legislators to be part of the movement calling for diversity in times of distress.

The song has been endorsed by presidents and priests becoming the sound of the current Covid-19 pandemic for millions across the globe.

Last week, the Jerusalema dance challenge was endorsed by President Cyril Ramaphosa ahead of the country’s plan to open up.
