Jarette Petzer of Move One Million said it is important for organizations and communities to come together and make their voice heard.
“What we defend is the end of corruption. The root of our main problems comes from corruption. If we take care of that, we can tackle many problems. We have to work with our communities in service and that is how we are going to unify the country.” .
SA Women Fight Back’s Bronwyn Litkie said enough was enough.
“We have to defend South Africa. We have seen too much violence in our country. We are fed up and tired of corruption and gender-based violence. There needs to be a change.”
