Unisa Vice Chancellor Among Special Guests Invited to the St Engenas ZCC 2024 Easter Pilgrimage
The delegation, led by the President of South Africa, His Excellency Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa, also included members of cabinet such as the Minister of Home Affairs, the Honourable Dr Aaron Motsoaledi and the Minister of Electricity, the Honourable Dr Sputla Ramokgopa, amongst others. The leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, the Honourable Julius Malema, was also amongst the guests.
The annual Easter pilgrimage to Moria is a long-standing tradition where millions of ZCC pilgrims from across South Africa and the African continent gather at the church’s headquarters in Moria, outside Polokwane in Limpopo, to worship and pray. This year’s gathering was the first since 2019, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
