JJ Rawlings' new look [VIDEO]

Former President Jerry John Rawlings appeared in public on Thursday to address a virtual celebration of the 41st anniversary of the June 4 uprising spotting a new look.

Spotting a bushy hair with a bushy beard, he attempted to explain his new look and sarcastically compared it to that of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s clean-shaven head [sakora].

“For those of you who are wondering about this Moses brush, if you want, call it Moses broom. Since the president [Akufo-Addo] had decided, he will use his shaven head to get rid of convo-na-rus, [Covid-19] what is called? eh! convo-19, whatever. I will use [my] Moses' brush [hair] to get rid of it and when it happens, then I think we can go back to our normal look." the former President piting to his bushy grey hair and beard and looking like Nigeria's Wole Soyinka said amidst laughter.

The coronavirus pandemic in Ghana since March 12 has made many to stay away from barbering saloons in line with social distancing protocols.
