'We learnt during the Afcon (Africa Cup of Nation) campaign that Safa were using the clothing that was not locally procured which is something as Sactwu we are advocating that almost all our sporting codes must use goods that are made locally.

 



"In the absence of Safa not adhering to that, we have taken a decision to voice our anger in the manner in which they are conducting themselves," says Ncgobo.

 



The first protest takes place in Durban.
