 The ANC Youth League-led demonstration saw around 5000 youth, mostly from KwaDukuza joining in the march. 

They want young local people to be given preference for jobs and also floor space in the mall to run shops.

The youth league's Thanduxolo Sabelo says they will give business entities little to no options.

"This is just the beginning. We are going to target more malls, factories and support all the young unemployed. White monopoly will finally concede that it must come back to the drawing board and discuss with us and come up with meaningful solutions on how we can make the majority of our people participate. We are not racist, all we are saying is allow our people to participate in the economy," he said.
