South Africans have honoured a call by President Cyril Ramaphosa to participate in a 'Jerusalema' dance challenge to celebrate Heritage Day.
Various groups of people, professions as well as institutions have shared videos of themselves dancing to Master KG's hit song that has become popular around the world.
Some South Africans also wore their traditional attire for the dance:
