BUSTED: Mike Sonko Makes International News After Photoshopping Himself Badly With Nelson Mandela

After news of Mandela's death broke, controversial Senator Mike Sonko posted a photo of himself with the icon. This was after everyone who has had a photo-op with the former South African leader was sharing pics on social media. The only problem was that he has never met Mandela.

On his Facebook page, Sonko posted the obviously photoshopped pic of himself with Mandela. He however forgot that Mandela was almost the same height as Obama while he (Sonko) is quite short.

The story was picked up by major news organizations worldwide.

Britain's 'Independent' was among the first, running the story under the headline ,

"Kenyan politician Mike Sonko left red-faced after photoshopping himself next to Nelson Mandela"

Australia's News.com.au also had the story, and so did the Huffington Post, The International Business Times and The Sun.
