TimesLive reports that according to the Tshwane Metro Police Department (TMPD), officers will be out in full force on Friday to maintain law and order during the anticipated march by dismissed security guards and “Vat Alles” workers.  

The ANC Youth League will also be staging a march despite the metro police saying its march would be illegal.  TMPD spokesperson Nonhlanhla Mgiba said the only approved march was that of a group called “All Tshwane Vat Alles Employees”‚ scheduled to start at 08h00 from Burgers Park to Tshwane municipality headquarters and disperse at 13h00.  Any other march would be treated as an illegal action.  The ANCYL in Tshwane said their march was going ahead as planned and that they had complied with all section 205 requirements for a march.  But, Mgiba said no application had been received from ANCYL as dictated by the law and that the publicised march would be treated as illegal.
