Major marches planned for Joburg and Pretoria

Metro police in Tshwane and Joburg have their hands full with two major marches planned in both cities.

Members of the Communication Workers Union, joined by allied groups, are set to take to the streets of Pretoria.

They are protesting challenges at the South African Post Office, including ongoing restructuring processes that have led to job losses.

The union claims there has been little to no consultation with workers.

Several routes are set to be affected.

"From the gathering point they will join Stanza Bopape street, turn right into Hilda Street, left into Park Street, turn left into Jan Shoba Street and proceed until they reach their destination at the Department of Communication and Digital Technologies," Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD) spokesperson Puleng Motholo said.
