Watch as President Jacob Zuma is met with cheers, screams and a trumpeting vuvuzela as he arrives in Mamelodi for a Workers' Day event.
Workers donning African National Congress (ANC) and Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) shirts geared up for Zuma's arrival on Sunday morning.
However, as News24's Karabo Ngoepe reports, the event got off to a slow start.
The Head of State arrived shortly after midday.
Worldwide, workers celebrate 1 May and labour forms a significant part of politics in South Africa, particularly within the tripartite alliance.
