"Your party is over," warn coloured communities
Updated | By Nathan Daniels
Coloured communities say they feel marginalised by government and have run out of patience regarding to their demands for economic inclusion.
"We're now taking the fight to where the powers are," leaders of the protests warned.
The Gauteng Shut-Down Co-ordinating Committee (GSCC) says they plan to take their grievances to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) on Tuesday.
Coloured residents from several communities in the province plan to picket outside the JSE offices in Sandton on Tuesday.
The predominantly coloured suburbs say they are not afforded equal black economic empowerment opportunities.
"You have had a party for too long and has no sense of responsibility towards the so-called coloured people of this country," says a member of the GSCC, Anthony Phillip Williams.
Last week, violent protests erupted in Westbury, Ennerdale and Eldorado Park as residents demand police act stricter against what they believe to be the plight of the population group by crime and gangsterism.
"Every week the communities will be in their faces until we get a respectable audience with Cyril Ramaphosa and his entire cabinet," says Williams.
