A sweet gesture by South Africa's President, Cyril Ramaphosa, towards a young girl caught everyone’s attention online and left many deeply touched.

The moment, posted on TikTok by @moziarora, moved internet s, with many singing his praise, while others pointed out issues our country was facing.

At a busy local mall, the President greeted a crowd wanting photos with him. He said he'd only take pics with the elderly and kids. During this, a little girl came up. While chatting with her, he noticed that her shoelaces were undone. Without hesitation, he went down, placed his bag gently on the floor, and tied her laces.

The crowd around him let out a loud “Awww,” clearly touched by the moment, with many pulling out phones to capture it. He smiled, waved to the people, and casually walked as if nothing had happened.

Social media s couldn’t get enough of the President’s soft-hearted side. Many said it showed how grounded and caring he was, especially with children. Some called the shoelace moment fatherly and touching, adding that they wished for more videos like that. Others were more critical, saying the gesture was sweet but didn’t excuse the country's ongoing problems.
