MORIA – President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Economic Freedom Fighter’s Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema joined the St Engenas Zion Christian Church's faithful in prayer during the Easter weekend. Many South Africans believed they visited the church’s headquarters to win its members over.
Ramaphosa and Malema visit Moria
According to TimesLIVE, Ramaphosa claimed that he was in the city in his personal capacity, even though the ANC was in the region to campaign for votes. Ramaphosa was accompanied by the Minister of Electricity, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, the Minister of Home Affairs, Dr Aaron Motsoaledi and other ANC leaders in the Limpopo province.
On the other hand, Malema was joined by his wife and the party’s head of presidency, MP Vuyani Pambo. The two leaders joined the congregation in prayer. They also shared a moment on stage when they hugged each other as the leader of the St Engenas ZCC, Bishop Engenas Lekganyane, introduced them.
