Donald Trump/ Inset: Malawian Football Juggler


An unknown woman believed to be in the East African country of Malawi has broken the internet with her football juggling skills which she exhibits wearing an African wrap skirt and flipflops.

The viral video shared by Twitter user Akin Sawyerr on Saturday with the caption, “Talent is evenly distributed, opportunity isn’t”, shows the woman juggling the football with her legs, head, shoulders, knees, hands and neck, as many people cheered. Watch the video below:



Garnering millions of views and thousands of Likes and Retweets, the woman’s talent received a big praise from the United States President Donald Trump who shared the video on Tuesday with the comment: “Amazing!”.


The identity and exact location of the viral woman are not known, but the only information available was that she spoke Swahili as heard in the video and she was in Malawi – as noted by other videos shared from the country.

The woman is heard accepting a challenge from the audience to bounce 100 juggles. After the close to two-minute execution of their request, the woman said, “Pesa yenu ndogo” in Swahili which means, “Your money is not enough”, in reference to a possible bet.

While many Africans were tweeting about finding the woman after gaining the attention of the U.S. president, Americans criticised Trump for sharing the video which they described as “bizarre” and a “waste of time”.

These are the reactions of African Twitter uses to the video and Trump’s reaction.
