“The EFF did not have any march on the day. We are not aware who mobilised and planned it nor do we, at this level, know of the intention or purpose,” Dunga told Express.
“We are aware that there were fighters present and it’s a duty of every fighter to be an activist and participate in community struggles, but that was the only role they played.”
Dunga added that their Ward 16 branch command team confirmed they did not sanction nor plan any march.
