Scores to gather in Durban calling for release of state capture report
Thousands of people are expected to attend a mass picket at the Gugu Dlamini Park in Durban this morning - demanding the immediate release of the report into State Capture.
Former Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela investigated allegations that the controversial Gupta family had undue influence over the governance of the country and Cabinet.
Organisers expect up to 5000 people to gather. They'll also celebrate the dropping of charges against Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan. Mags Moodley - who is with the Active Citizens' Movement - says people will be given a chance to voice their concerns.
"An alliance of organisations from civil society, trade unions, religious organisations, student movements and most importantly ordinary people will be meeting at the park. The march will be to voice our delight at the fact that charges against Pravin Gordhan and his colleagues have been dropped and to highlight state capture," he said.
As the state capture case continues in the North Gauteng High Court today, scores will also gather in Pretoria CBD for a mass march.
