IT is not a sight people see every day - Theresa May dancing.
The Prime Minister turned her hand, or should that be feet, to dancefloor diplomacy on the opening day of her Africa trade trip.
She moved from side to side and bobbed up and down as she was greeted at a school by a group of pupils dancing energetically.
Mrs May smiled and laughed throughout and later joined in with a second dance during her visit to the ID Mkize School in Cape Town.
At a packed school assembly, she told the pupils: "Can I thank all those young people who were involved in the performances outside who welcomed me."
The PM used her visit to the school to announce that the Chevening scholarship would be opened up to 100 more of "Africa's brightest young people".
She said: "What I see before me in this hall today is the future of South Africa."
She added: "I'd like to think that some of you, when you get older, if you're thinking of going to university that you might think of coming to one of our great universities in the UK.
"We've got a programme, it's called the Chevening scholarship, which helps people to do that and I'm pleased to say today we're announcing that we're going to open up scholarships to 100 more of Africa's brightest young people."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
