One million South Africans are expected to face the cold on Saturday morning to take part in the Move One Million march to protest against corruption and forms of brutality.
The march has drawn international attention with protesters from across South Africa, the UK and Australia ready to take to the streets on Saturday 5 September.
The SA Move One Million Facebook group had more than 19,000 likes and more than 20,000 followers.
The goal is to get one million people to join in a peaceful protest across the country and abroad.
Marches are expected in Gauteng, Eastern Cape, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Free State, North West, Northern Cape and Mpumalanga, essentially in all nine provinces.
In Cape Town, the march is expected to begin at 10am on Saturday morning, while other areas are expected to start at 8am, while others will gather at 11am.
Organizers have encouraged protesters in the Mother City to gather in the Grand Parade to avoid consequences from the police.
The ‘Move One Million’ movement was created by the same person behind SA’s #ImStaying group, Jarette Petzer.
“We are in a battle for the heart and soul of SA. We cannot allow ourselves to be paralyzed by fear for another minute. Yes, we are beaten and yes we have been beaten, but we are not broken. It is up to each of us to rise up against the people bent on trying to destroy our great nation, ”reads the movement’s Facebook page.
