Anti-rape march in Durban
Updated | By Benedict Ngwenya

It is organised by the Aids Healthcare Foundation and is aimed at showing solidarity with rape survivors.
The foundation says rape remains a huge problem in the country, with 66 000 cases reported between 2013 and 2014.
There is no chanting, singing or stomping taking place.
The women and men marching to City Hall are armed with only their silence and placards, calling for an end to rape.
The protesters have their mouths taped shut with black tape, a symbol of the silence many rape victims go through.
Metro police are escorting the group as they make their way down Dr Pixley ka Seme Street and then finally to City Hall where they will stage a die-in.
Traffic is not disrupted as only two lanes are being occupied by the marchers.
Below is footage of marchers making their way through the Durban CBD.
