According to Matlala, those who will attend must dress in black. No looting or violence must take place.

“This march is the beginning of many other initiatives launched to take a stand against the violence, rape, kidnapping and killing of women and children.

We plan to start a foundation and also to have a platform set up to help speak for those who cannot speak for themselves and to protect those who need protection,” he said.

The march starts at 10:00.
