The “King of Pop” as he was affectionately known by his fans and the media broke many records which earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records and many other awards. Just to show you how popular he was, the Thriller hitmaker had 16 Guinness Book of Records entries.

Zimbabwe MJ Dance Impersonators : Smooth Criminal

Representing Zimbabwe in the Michael Jackson dance contest was a trio of Junior High School boys from Bulawayo dancing to Smooth Criminal at an outdoor event. Looking spick and span in smart suits, Fedora hats and moccasins resembling the original Smooth Criminal  video, the boys displayed a flawless, smooth, and well executed choreography that would impress Simon Cowell on America's Got Talent show. During the dance scene, the young Zimbabwean Michael Jackson in white suit was occasionally breaking out from the choreography to showcase his individual skills.

Zambia MJ Dance Impersonators : Thriller

Standing in for Zambia was a 5-man group, dancing to Thriller, Michael Jackson’s best selling album. The performance was cute, funny and interesting to watch, drawing smiles and amused emojis on Facebook. If you want a truly African representation of a Michael Jackson dance, then you would better watch this video. The choreography was also good. What I like about this video is that MJ was not dressed in his trademark red Thriller jacket and tight pants. He looked like a typical African villager going to the market, wearing a safari shirt, straw hat and sandals. The zombies were impressive, looking like diesel mechanics in dirty overalls, with grease smeared on their hair, face and skin. 

South Africa MJ Dance Impersonator : Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough

Dressed in typical Michael Jackson style, black striped pants, glitter socks and moccasins, including a curly hairstyle, a dancer from KZN, South Africa known as Michael Ngcobo became the talk of Twitter when he was captured on video dancing to Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” in a public square. He tours towns and neighbourhoods dancing in the streets, taxi ranks and open market places. Michael Ngcobo was featured on ENCA/SABC TV. He is undoubtedly a hard worker and hustler who dances with passion, and getting rewarded for it by the crowds he entertains.
