LOOK: Marchers in Durban want Mchunu removed
A group of marchers in Durban is calling for Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to be axed.
Tuesday's protest at Curries Fountain is in support of KZN police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
There had been a slight delay in the start of the march.
There was a heavy police presence, with at least 30 vehicles from the South African Police Service, Metro Police, and private security groups.
Residents from all walks of life across the city gathered in their numbers, some holding placards affirming their support for Mkhwanazi.
The commissioner’s explosive remarks about political interference in criminal investigations have grabbed headlines.
Several groups engaged in sporadic chants in support of Mkhwanazi but have also called for the police minister and the president to be removed from their positions.
March organisers, the Umnotho wabansudu civic group, say the demonstration's expected to draw a crowd of around 2,000 people.
Spokesperson Vincent Mdunge says they’ll hand over a memorandum at Hoy Park to National police commissioner Fannie Masemola, although the SAPS has not confirmed this.
