Ramaphosa and Springbok captain Siya Kolisi have received statues made of wax by Lungelo Gumede.


Gumede, who is the founder of the Lungelo Wax Museum, is known for his figures of famous politicians, soccer stars and personalities.


Sometimes a figure will look nearly identical to the star and sometimes not, but Ramaphosa’s smile after being gifted the statues seemed to show that the first citizen was impressed with his likeness.


Lungelo was inspired by South Africa’s Rugby World Cup victory.
