Almost the whole world is under lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic as it is a life-taking virus and we need to be very cautious to stay safe in present times. There are some measures which we should take in order to keep ourselves safe such as staying at home, washing hands and face regularly, going out only if very necessary, maintaining social distancing and wearing mask whenever we go out.
South Africa is also under lockdown and recently the President of the country, Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation and talked about the relaxations in lockdown which will be effective from the next month. During his live speech, the President also talked about the importance of wearing a mask as he wanted all the citizens to wear masks whenever they go out of their house.
However, he made a goof-up when he tried to show the South African citizens how to wear a mask as he struggled to put both the ends of the mask in his ears. While in one try, the mask falls from his face, in another try, he got his eyes covered instead of mouth and nose.
Here is the video of the incident:

There is no denying the fact that it is just human to make such mistakes but online users were not in the mood to miss this chance of having some fun and the social media networks were flooded with memes and jokes.
