A video making rounds on social media reveals moment when South Sudan President Salva Kiir Mayardit suferred an embarrassing moment during a recent public event he attended with other top government officials.
In the trending video obtained by Biztellers, the South Sudan president can be seen urinating on himself while reciting the country’s national anthem at a road commissioning event.
Kiir was seen standing in front with his hand on his chest. As the video rolled on, the President’s trousers became soaked starting from his crotch to his ankle.
As the urine spilled on the floor, the President looked down to see the mess he made. Other dignitaries at the event also tried looking away.
The video has triggered a conversation centred on the health of African politicians vying for top political offices.
Salva Kiir Mayardit has been the President of South Sudan since its independence on 9 July 2011. Prior to independence, he was the President of the Government of Southern Sudan, as well as First Vice President of Sudan, from 2005 to 2011. He was named Commander-in-Chief of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) in 2005, following the death of Dr. John Garang.
