Motorists are advised to avoid several streets in the east of Pretoria on Tuesday due to a planned march by the Soil of Africa Organisation.

They are protesting the unfair dismissal of employees and for permanent contracts.

According to the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD), the marchers will gather at Solomon Mahlangu Square from 09:00 and proceed to the Tshwane Automotive Special Economic Zone (TASEZ).
