Johannesburg - Julius Malema has arrived at Mary Fitzgerald Square in Joburg to lead the EFF Economic Freedom March against financial institutions.
Around 4 000 people have gathered at the square before they move through the CBD stopping at the Reserve Bank, the Chamber of Mines and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange to deliver memorandums.
Malema took to the makeshift stage on the back of a truck as the crowd chanted: “ Juju Juju Juju”.
EFF deputy president Floyd Shivambu took the mic to introduce Malema.
“Forward to socialism forward!” Shivambu cried.
Malema then thanked all supporters for attending the march.
He outlined the route, which is set to go north towards Rissik Street, then into Joubert Street and Victoria Street, Oxford Road, Rivonia Road and West into Maude Street.
Malema has called for high discipline for the march.
“Do not allow agent provocateurs to hijack our march,” he said.
The EFF leader said white capital’s days were numbered.
“Today we own the streets of Johannesburg. We will warn all of them that today is the day to remember,” he said.
