ACDP to march against vaccine mandates on Human Rights Day
The African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) will commemorate Human Rights Day on Monday by marching to the Union Buildings in opposition to mandatory vaccinations.
Companies are starting to implement mandatory vaccination policies as part of the fight against Covid-19.
ACDP leader Reverend Kenneth Meshoe says the constitution protects people from mandatory vaccinations.
He says they will be marching to highlight the freedom of choice.
“We want to remind everybody, government and companies that we have a constitution that has promised us the right to choose but what we are seeing these days is that right is being undermined.
“People are approaching the ACDP for assistance over vaccine mandates. The students come to us saying they are not wanted on campuses because they are not vaccinated. It does not make sense that people are put under pressure to participate in Covid-19 experiments.”
Tshwane metro police spokesperson Isaac Mahamba says several routes will be affected in the CBD.
“From Church Square, they'll walk towards Madiba Street, turn right into Madiba Street then walk straight until they reach the triangle in front of The Union Buildings. Several intersections will be affected. TMPD officers will be deployed to monitor the march and all affected streets. Motorists are advised to avoid affected streets and use alternative routes.”
