About 100 people gathered at the Moroccan Embassy in Pretoria in support of the Western Sahara's independence from Morocco.
The march, which saw supporters from the Young Communist League (YCL) and the Congress of SA Trade Union, was also attended by ANC Youth League president Fikile Mbalula.
He said the African continent cannot celebrate Africa Day while other people were not yet free.
YCL president Buti Manamela said Morocco should end its form of colonialism on the people of Western Sahara.
Morocco invaded Western Sahara in 1975 after Spain withdrew its 90 year occupation.
Morocco then moved in to claim Western Sahara as its territory.

Although the claim was rejected by the International Court of Justice, the Saharawi people have been fighting for their independence since.
However, the African Union along with South Africa recognise Western Sahara as an independent state. - Sapa
