Scores of African National Congress (ANC) Youth League members have gathered outside Luthuli House in Johannesburg ahead of the Democratic Alliance’s march. The league members have vowed to defend their party’s headquarters against any threat.

Tlangi Mogale from the league’s task team says the DA should be marching to the offices of government or Eskom.

“No political party can think that they can just wake up and march to another political party’s headquarters. I mean if that was the modus operandi there would be no peace in this country. Inherently political parties will always find a way of campaigning against each other and we view this as campaigning for the 2024 elections. If they have a memorandum of issues they want to submit they can go to Eskom. It is just here at Megawatt Park, not at ANC Luthuli House.

Members of some civil society organisations have also joined the march, which is protesting the ANC’s “engineered rolling blackouts,” according to the DA. The DA’s Chief Whip Siviwe Gwarube says the ANC has ignored their shared solutions to the country’s energy crisis.Several streets in the Johannesburg CBD will be closed ahead of the Democratic Alliance march on Wednesday morning.Meanwhile, the Joburg Metro police say they remain on alert as thousands of DA members begin to march from Newtown in Johannesburg.

The JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla says, “They will travel from MFG east on Lilian Ngoyi street and turn right onto Harrison street. They will gather in Bayers Naude square where they will be addressed by the organisation’s leadership. They will then march back to MFG square using Helen Joseph street. They will disperse at 1pm in the afternoon. Officers are present to monitor the march and regulate traffic.

Maybe they don't have load shedding.

Scores of people? Three bus loads of rent a crowd. They got a nice KFC meal and a stupid t-shirt which they can go and enjoy sitting in the dark waiting for that job they got promised by the clowns they want to keep in power.

Unemployed but have a nerve to protect the very same party that makes them unemployed. What a useless youth shame on them.

Someone balance me here. In this time and age, an era of technology and innovation,why would it take scores of people to deliver a piece of paper to a certain destination, and take another group of people to stop its delivery?

😂😂😂 … they DESERVE THE CORRUPTION and LAOD SHEDDING!

The real threat is the ANC to the rest of South Africa.
