According to EFF Ward 3 branch command team secretary and regional member Siyabulela Kolanisi the march was brought on by numerous concerns existing in Knysna, some of which are the exploitation of workers, racism at the work place, nepotism, and issues relating to doctors, staff and services rendered at the provincial hospital.

“Today we say enough is enough, we are ready to defend the voiceless,” said Kolanisi.
