The quick intervention of President John Mahama saved a lady from falling off the stage during what was meant to be a routine photo opportunity at the Zambia–Ghana Business Dialogue in Lusaka.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, officials and guests were captured moving forward to the stage for a group photograph.
As participants climbed onto the stage from the front, one female attendee appeared to misjudge her footing and suddenly lost balance.
Before anyone else could react, President Mahama, who was standing close by, noticed the movement and stretched out his hand. In one swift motion, he grabbed her arm and steadied her before she could tumble off the platform.
With calm assurance, the President helped her regain balance and guided her safely onto the stage, drawing quiet relief from those nearby.
Although the incident lasted only seconds, Mr. Mahama has earned the admiration of many for turning a potentially embarrassing and painful accident into a moment of care and composure at a high-level diplomatic event.
