Opposition parties, religious leaders and civil society, united as the Freedom Movement, who once again called for President Jacob Zuma to step down.
A freedom movement rally of various opposition political leaders, as well as civil society and religious organisations at the Caledonian stadium in Tshwane, promised those gathered that a Zuma-free future was possible.
“Change is coming…our ‘94 is coming in 2019,” Democratic Alliance leader Mmusi Maimane told the crowd, promising that a coalition government would be put in place.
The march was the third protest action against the President.
The day before, Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote a letter urging South Africans to take part in the Freedom Day march.
“It is important that we unite South Africans to bring an end to state capture,” he wrote in the letter.
Here are some photos from the March:
