Former Durbanite tells of 'run-in' with President Cyril Ramaphosa
Updated | By Damon Beard
What was supposed to be an ordinary run turned into a memory that this man will never forget.
Early morning joggers were in for a treat when they bumped into President Cyril Ramaphosa going out for a quick jog on Sea Point's promenade in Cape Town on the morning of his swearing-in.

People were just in awe with the new President's great energy and like many, I cannot wait to see what he has up his sleeve for the country - especially after all we've been through over the past few years.
Super friendly and jogging with a smile on his face, you can’t help but love this picture that Sean Kirby, an ex-Durbanite who now lives in Cape Town, shot on his phone.
The quick-thinking man grabbed his phone and shot a selfie with Ramaphosa - but little did he know that Ramaphosa was going to be made President that very same afternoon.
If I was Sean, I would definitely frame this selfie.
I managed to get a comment from Sean regarding the selfie that everyone's been talking about. Take a listen to what he had to say in the podcast below:
