WATCH: Cyril Ramaphosa chased away by workers at May Day rally

South African President and African National Congress (ANC) leader Cyril Ramaphosa had to abandon the May Day celebrations at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, outside Rustenburg, in the North West after rowdy workers chased him away for the stadium.



National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) affiliated Sibanye workers are demanding a R1000 salary increase.  The employer is only offering R800.

Striking Sibanye Stillwater mineworkers were demanding that Ramaphosa address their issues.



When Ramaphosa tried to address them they told him that he must go. Ramaphosa had to be whisked away to a police car which carried him out of the stadium.
