#HandsOffZuma march gains momentum in Durban
Hundreds of ANC supporters in Durban are participating in a march in the CBD in support of President Jacob Zuma.
The #HandsOffZuma march kicked-off from the King Dinuzulu Park in the Warwick Triangle precinct this morning, with supporters making their way to City Hall.
The march is in support of Zuma, in the light of the controversial state capture report.
ANC regional chair, Bheki Ntuli, was optimistic about the proposed turnout. He said members would hand over a memorandum to members of the ANC executive, at City Hall.
"According to our plan we are expecting 15000 ANC members to come and assemble here, and then start a march. When we get there [City Hall], we will allow our alliance partners who are here to speak, and give their message of support," he said.
Police Minister Nathi Nhleko is expected to receive the memorandum, which will be handed over by Mayor Gumede - who is the regional head of the ANC.
