They are calling for President Jacob Zuma to resign.

 

The march comes on the back of President Jacob Zuma's cabinet reshuffle, which saw the axing of former Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas. 

 

The reshuffle subsequently led to credit ratings agencies Fitch and Standard & Poor's downgrading South Africa to junk status.

 

Nine opposition parties including the EFF, UDM, DA, Cope and IFP marched from Church Square to the Union Buildings - on President Zuma's 75th birthday.
