Five arrested for illegal march
Updated | By Catrine Malan

"According to the reports, a group of about 200 people had gathered at Sea Point and then proceeded to the Pavilion Mall carrying placards and loud-hailers," Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana said in a statement.
"They were warned by the police, as their gathering was illegal. It is believed that they moved to the Grand Parade where they continued with their picketing and chants."
The participants in the march on Sunday, in support of Palestine, were then twice warned by police as they proceeded towards Buitenkant Street, near where a pro-Israel rally was being held.
"At that stage, the police started arresting the members of the group who had defied the lawful orders to leave the place," Kinana said.
"About five people, four men aged between 30 and 43, and a 36-year-old woman were arrested for conspiring to commit a crime."
The five were expected to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Further details were expected to emerge during their court appearance.
