Police call for safe end to marches

Pretoria – While protest action continues on the streets of South Africa, police have urged march organisers to ensure that protesters maintain the spirit of orderliness that has characterised the majority of proceedings throughout the day.

“We are aware that people are still on the streets and we call upon organisers to ensure that protesters get home safe, not involve themselves in violent activities and cause damage to property,” the Minister of Police, Fikile Mbalula, said in a statement on Friday.
