Previously scheduled to take place on the P445 close to McDonald’s, opposite the Ballito Junction Mall, Umhlali SAPS spokesperson Vinny Pillay has confirmed that the picket will now take place at two of the mall entrances.
However, more than 40 public order police are stationed at the mall and they are confident the ANCYL members won’t enter the premises.
