The DA is going ahead with its electricity crisis march on Wednesday, 25 January to the ANC’s headquarters, Luthuli House, despite the ANC Youth League warning against it.
It was on a Wednesday afternoon in 2014 that South Africa’s second-biggest party marched to the governing party’s headquarters in Johannesburg. Police stopped the march on Marshall and Rissik streets, saying it was too dangerous for them to continue.
Spokesperson Sizophila Mkhize accused the DA of “using the unfortunate national crisis” to attempt to score cheap political points through “senseless theatrics” of announcing a march to Luthuli House. When asked about the ANC not being informed of the march, DA spokesperson Charity McCord said: “We really don’t have a comment on this. We are not handing over a memorandum and don’t expect them to ‘receive’ us.”Political analyst and Rivonia Circle director Tessa Dooms said marches are either symbolic or impactful and if the DA’s planned march “is a symbolic march, the symbolism is lost on me.
