The use of the apartheid flag at #BlackMonday protests is disgusting. There is no place for that flag in South Africa#ApartheidFlagMustFall

South Africans get murdered everyday,all races! Why must murders of one group be prioritized over the rest ? #BlackMonday

Hope #BlackMonday also include violence against small scale rural farmers, urban/township farmers, farm workers, black women farmers without land rights, etc.

#BlackMonday is not about race. It's about ordinary South Africans taking a stand against crime that affects us all.
