Twitter is always buzzing with surprises, and this time it’s South African media sensation Somizi Mhlongo who’s in the spotlight. While he was off unwinding in Mpumalanga, the Twitterati were having a field day poking fun at his knee.

Somizi and his hubby Mohale Motaung shared some adorable safari photos from their getaway, but it wasn’t the majestic animals stealing the show. Nope, it was Somizi’s knee that took center stage. Tweeps couldn’t resist pointing out that his knee seemed to be channeling its inner artist, sporting what looked like a face wearing a beret.

Yep, you read that right – a beret-wearing knee! The internet promptly turned Somizi into a laughing stock, with folks suggesting that his knee resembled none other than the charismatic leader Julius Malema. Memes and hilarious reactions flooded in, leaving us curious if Somizi himself has had a good laugh at the creative knee analysis.
