The South African Council of Churches' (SACC) General Secretary Bishop Mpumlwana was among the men leading the march.
"Join with others, every community in this country has a place where ministers come together and its that place we want to use for our ministry and of course it is also the same place we want to use to challenge each other for how we dominate, bully and abuse women in our congregations," said Mpumlwana.
