Theresa May was filmed dancing in South Africa and everyone made the same joke | indy100 | indy100

Oh, Theresa. You've only gone and done it again. First, there were the fields of wheat, next there was the extreme coughing, and now, there's the dancing.

The prime minister is on a three day trip to Africa, in a bid to boost post-Brexit trade ties, where she will visit South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya.

She started her trip on Monday in Cape Town, South Africa, where she visited the ID Mkize Senior Secondary School.

When she arrived, the children welcomed her with a beautiful dance. Needless to say, Mrs May soon got involved and threw a couple of shapes on the dance floor.

However, when the light hearted moment was captured on camera by the South African government and posted to Twitter, it didn't go down quite as she'd maybe planned in the Twittersphere.

Many were quick to point out that she was living up to her moniker 'The Maybot'.

Theresa May attempting to look human by 'dancing' like a robot. Cringe, worthy of The Thick of It. #wrightstuff

Some felt an affiliation with the PM.

Theresa May dancing is me dancing unwillingly at parties so I refuse to criticise her.

Nope. Just nope.

I do not feel the need to cringe my way into an early death so shan't be watching the video of Theresa May dancing, but thanks for the offer

Others weren't as kind...
