Johannesburg - The Economic Freedom Fighters is set to lead an economic freedom march in the Joburg CBD on Tuesday.
The EFF says they will march from Mary Fitzgerald Square, Newtown, at 10am to the Chamber of Mines to fight against the retrenchment of miners.
The march will proceed to the JSE in protest against labour brokers.
“Labour brokers take the little salary you make and keep you poorer. You’re basically working for free,” EFF leader Julius Malema said over the weekend.
From the JSE, the march will move to the Reserve Bank to advocate that the working class qualify for credit so they can also buy their own houses.
“This government works to please the white people. They don’t care about the black life,” Malema added.
The Johannesburg Metro Police Department has warned of traffic disruptions.
The march will go north into Rissik Street, north into Joubert Street, then Victoria Street, Oxford Road, Rivonia Road and west into Maude Street, the JMPD said.
