The march took place at Memorial Square earlier at this morning (Friday April 7) at 10:00. It saw residents raising their placards with their complaints and some even wore t-shirts, that read ‘No Confidence In Zuma’ and Gatvol Of Zuma’.
The main street market opposite Memorial Square was closed as Main Street and the square became alive with music and the shouting and hooting from motorists and bikers who encouraged the crowd as they drove past.
Barry Richards, a South African cricket legend was amongst the masses. Richards was asked whether he thought the march will have the desired effect - that Zuma will step down, he said, “If we don’t try we’ll never know. It might not work today but this is the beginning. We’re standing up for poorer citizens because if we don’t stand up for them they are the ones who will be mostly affected by Zuma’s actions.”
The masses then walked around the square and then the main road.
