MORIA - Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa will later today, Sunday, 16 April 2017 join thousands of congregants and church members of the St. Engenas Zion Christian Church (ZCC) in a prayer service at Moria, to celebrate Easter Sunday.
 
The Deputy President is the Patron of the Moral Regeneration Movement aimed at instilling high moral values in our society with particular reference to the youth and as part of contributing to social cohesion and the building of a peaceful, non-racial, non-sexist democratic society.
 
In this regard, the Christian Church and indeed the entire religious formations of our country have and continue to play a major role in efforts aimed at the reconstruction and development of the soul of our South African society and thus assist in laying a firm foundation for a caring society and the creation of a better life for all South Africans.
 
We believe that only working jointly and collectively with various sectors of our society, including religious formations, can we tackle the social ills that are currently afflicting our society. Indeed as South Africa our history is replete with examples of how in acting in unison and collectively we have been able to tackle and triumphed over issues that may have appeared intractable.
 
As Deputy President Ramaphosa joins the St. Engenas ZCC prayer service, his thoughts and prayers will reach out to all other denomination across the country that will equally be joined in spirt in celebrating Easter Sunday.
 
Equally, the Deputy President will take the opportunity to remind those who will be returning home following the Easter holidays to drive carefully, cooperate with the law enforcement agencies, observe the rules of the road and ensure we arrive alive!
 
Other members of the cabinet including President Jacob Zuma joined various church services across the country in celebrating Easter Weekend celebrations.
