Ramaphosa: "We've been through much worse"
Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was at the Nazareth Baptist church of Shembe today - joining thousands of church members in celebrating the life of its founder leader.
The deputy president was accompanied by former KZN Premier Senzo Mchunu.
After addressing the churchgoers, Ramaphosa spoke openly about the state of the ANC.
He acknowledged that a wide rift exists between the ruling party and its alliance partners.
While various May Day rallies were held across the country on Monday - president Jacob Zuma and other ANC leaders were booed at the events they attended.
The main COSATU event in Bloemfontein was halted without the president addressing the crowd.
Ramaphosa admitted the ruling party has serious issues to address.
But he believes the relationship with alliance partners can be rescued.
