Update: Delayed protest march against Zuma fizzles out in Ladysmith
Unfortunately Christopher Fobian was hurt after someone threw a stone at him while he was marching.
50 people gathered this morning at the Kandahar Avenue grounds to march against Jacob Zuma as president.
Many South Africans took to the streets this morning in their efforts to remove Jacob Zuma as president of the country after OUTA called for a national shutdown in different parts of South Africa on Friday, April 7.
This comes after President Zuma’s reshuffling of the Cabinet last week, resulting in Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and Deputy Finance Minister Mcebisi Jonas being removed from their positions.
In Ladysmith, the crowd marched from Kandahar Avenue to Keate Street and returned to the Kandahar grounds.

Unfortunately, local resident Christopher Fobian was hurt after someone threw a stone at him while he was marching.
Other than that, no one was injured. Once they were back in Kandahar Avenue, the marchers dispersed and went home.
