Meanwhile, political analyst Sanusha Naidu says mass action against the President brings to the fore an opportunity for robust debate on some of the key challenges facing the country that are also linked to the presidency.
The EFF and COPE pulled out of the demonstration citing logistical problems.

Naidu says it's time for South Africans to look at the bigger picture.
"We have this protest around state capture but there's the question around ownership of resources, issues around wealth, financial transactions and accountability. There're are ongoing investigations around transactioning on the JSE when the announcement was made on the [Cabinet] reshuffle," she said.
