Locals join anti-Zuma march

Protesters are calling for the president to step down.

MBOMBELA – Locals have joined the national Zuma Must Fall march and are at the corner of the R40 and Samora Machel Drive.

The march was expected to start at 11:00 and protesters will thereafter proceed to the Nelspruit Rugby Club.

The protest was organised by civilians to call for the president’s resignation. Similar demonstrations are happening countrywide.

Some of the placards held by protesters include messages such as “Impeach the Leech” and “South Africa must rise”.

What mainly triggered the march was when finance minister, Mr Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mr Mncebisi Jonas, were fired by the president.

Buscor stated that its buses will run as usual and will not be affected by the strike.
