Motorists in the City of Tshwane will have to contend with traffic disruptions on Friday morning.
This comes as dozens of Zimbabwean nationals based in the city are planning to march owing to dissatisfaction with election outcomes in their home country.
The protest to the Zimbabwean Embassy in Hatfield will begin at the Union Buildings and is led by the organization, Era by Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe African National Union–Patriotic Front leader Emmerson Mnangagwa was inaugurated for a second term as Zimbabwe’s president, following the highly contentious polls.
Election observers from the Southern African Development Community criticized the polls, citing several incidents of voter intimidation, coercion, and what they called suspicious behavior.
“Friday, the 8th of September, is the beginning of a new dawn, the beginning of a new Zimbabwe, the beginning of a free Zimbabwe that we all wan, the starting point of the genesis to a new Zimbabwe, a Zimbabwe that is reflected by its people, a Zimbabwe with an identity,” said march organizer Talent Rusere.
