They demanded immediate arrests of those implicated in the Zondo Commission, the VBS bank scandal, and the so-called construction mafia, among others.
"Two years after the Zondo Commission report, South Africans are still waiting for justice. Many implicated individuals not only walk free but also hold seats in Parliament," said Defend Our Democracy spokesperson, Andries Sibanyoni.
Sibanyoni said they want South Africans must unite against corruption.
