The party's Haniff Hoosen says they want the march to be a peaceful one.

"It is a movement for change - bringing together South Africans from all walks of life - regardless of what their political backgrounds are. We expect thousands of people to attend this march. There have been quite a number of civil society organisations that were organising their own marches. Since we've put out the call to host a march - most of those civil society organisations have joined forces behind us," he said.

And the KZN leg of tomorrow's "March Against Corruption" will see supporters gathering at the circus site on the Durban beachfront. 

In Gauteng, the DA changed its route of a planned march to Luthuli House after threats of violence by the ANC Youth League. Hoosen has shared an observation on this.

"On Friday morning at 10am, we will march along the promenade on the beachfront and at the amphitheatre. I think if there's anybody who is afraid it is the ANC Youth League themselves," he said. 

Meanwhile, the ANC Youth League in KZN will be conducting its own march on Friday, in the city centre. The league is continuing its call for ABSA to pay back money allegedly owed to the people of South Africa. 

ANC Youth League provincial spokesperson, Mandla Shange, says the march along Anton Lembede Street will be attended by NEC member, and Police Minister Fikile Mbalula. 

While in Pretoria, protesters belonging to the SAVE SA campaign say they will continue with their camp out on Church Square until Jacob Zuma steps down as President.
