Johannesburg - The March has reached the American consulate, just across from Sandton City and a few blocks away from the JSE.
EFF chairperson Dali Mpofu led the crowd in song. From there the March is expected to proceed to the JSE where it will end.
The streets of Sandton are a sea of red berets with most shops and businesses closed.
