Protesters gathered in Pretoria’s CBD as anti-illegal immigration demonstrations led by civic groups called for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa.
March and March in Pretoria has vowed that its demonstrations with members carrying sjamboks and knopkies at Church Square in Pretoria would not turn violent.
The mobilisation forms part of nationwide protests on 30 June, during which civic groups are calling for undocumented foreign nationals to leave the country.
Protests led by March and March, together with more than 20 civil society organisations, are expected across the country, with organisers maintaining their demand that undocumented foreign nationals leave South Africa.
The group has set a deadline of June 30 for undocumented foreign nationals to depart.
