Government disappointed by disruptive incidences accompanying opposition marches
8 August 2017
Government is disappointed at reports of learners being taken out of schools, damage to public infrastructure, business properties and the disruption of public transport in and around the City of Tshwane. Such acts have no place in our constitutional democracy. These actions undermine the democratic rights of other South Africans.
The Constitution of our country says every person in South Africa has a right to protest, as long it is done in a peaceful manner.
