Askies, 'Sister Bethina'... It's time to get down to 'Jerusalema' on Heritage Day. If you still don't know how to do the dance challenge, keep reading!
Heritage Day 2020 will go down as the year the entire nation - we hope - did the 'Jerusalema' challenge.
Master KG and Nomcebo's hit single has taken the world by storm, with stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Janet Jackson sharing their love for the song.
Our very own President is also a fan!
He has called on South Africans to take part in the popular 'Jerusalema' challenge on Heritage Day this Thursday.
"I urge everyone to use this public holiday as family time, to reflect on the difficult journey we have all travelled, to remember those who have lost their lives, and to quietly rejoice in the remarkable and diverse heritage of our nation.
"And there can be no better celebration of our South African-ness than joining the global phenomenon that is the 'Jerusalema' dance challenge,” he said during his address last week.
