About 200 ANC supporters began their anti-racism march from La Montagne around 11am and have almost reached the Ballito Lifestyle shopping centre.
So far the march has been peaceful.
Formalities are expected to conclude by no later than 2pm after which the crowd will be dismissed.
Our reporter Jacqueline Herbst is reporting live on Twitter.
