The South African government tweeted a video clip of British prime minister Theresa May dancing with students in Cape Town on Tuesday. 

The nickname Theresa ‘RoboMay’ has been picked up by many, criticising her robotic dance moves as the video went viral. 

One twitter user wrote Theresa May dances like she's had her freedom of movement surgically removed. 

She visited Cape Town to promote trade with Britain as the country prepares for Brexit.
