Johannesburg - President Jacob Zuma on Friday called on Christians to pray for politicians, as the devil was trying to interfere with their work.



"We are here to get blessings and prayers. We want you to pray for us as leaders so that when we make mistakes, you can ask God to forgive us because Satan is always around trying to derail us," he told thousands of members of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg.



The country was faced with crime and drug abuse and prayers were needed to help fight these problems.
