Johannesburg - Traffic will be affected in Parktown and the Johannesburg city centre as two unions embark on separate protest marches, metro police said on Saturday.
The separate marches were organised by the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (NUMSA) and the SA Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU).
“Members of NUMSA will first march to premier Nomvula Mokonyane's office and then proceed to Braamfontein. SAMWU will march from Parktown to the city centre,” said metro police spokesman Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar.
NUMSA members would gather at Beyers Naude Square.
They would also march to the offices of the Department of Labour in Braamfontein to hand over a memorandum.
The SAMWU marchers would gather at Peter Roos Park in Parktown and then march to the metro centre to deliver a memorandum.
Streets in the city centre including Sauer, Simmonds, Fox, de Korte and Joubert would be closed from 11am to 1pm. - Sapa
