KZN ANCYL call for peace, acceptance
KZN ANCYL says no to racism as they march to Scottsburg Magistrate's Court.
There is no space for racism in South Africa, that's the message from the ANC Youth League in KZN.
Sharing their sentiments are the hundreds of people who're currently marching through the Scottburgh city centre, taking a stand against racism.

Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa is leading the marchers to the local court.
The league's Thanduxolo Sabelo says the march was organized as a demonstration against the racist comments that have made waves on social media and to promote a nation that is accepting of all.
"These black people that they are calling monkeys today are the same black people that take care of their houses, that raise their kids and clean their homes so they themselves have been raised by these black people.
"It can't be that black people today are called monkeys. We are doing this for all peace-loving South Africans, we are doing this for the nation, we want to have children that will grow side by side with their white counterparts," he said.
