DA March in Jozi

Just hope this doesn't turn into violence.

ANC march to DA offices = never any violence

DA march to ANC offices = always violence and threats

well they saying that 1000s of ANC supporters are getting together

why march? campaign march? is this a common thing in SA?

SA is not doing as well as outside countries tend to think

The DA is saying that it is a march to put some emphasis on job creation - hoped to get 6,000 marchers each symbolizing 1000 jobs - not sure if they feel that 6,000,000 should have been created by now, or if these jobs have been 'lost'

The ANC says the march is provoking them and their supporters - because the DA has arranged some private (armed) security to accompany them - so the ANC says they have the right to 'defend' themselves and their HQ - also the ANC says their own march in Cape Town was on GOVERNMENT offices, whereas the DA march is on a PARTY's HQ

Political point scoring.

Children playing in the streets - I'm embarrassed to think these two parties have our future in their hands - Every politician should wear Nike shoes and follow their slogan as policy instead of behaving like they are in the playground!!

ANC Supporters now throwing petrol bombs according to reports on twitter :

I thought everyone had the right to demonstrate (or march) peacefully?
