Peaceful protestors want peace on earth as they stand for residents of Ukraine during a peaceful gathering in MIdrand on March 21, 2022.

On Human Rights Day, residents and members of Democratic Alliance (DA) Ward 132 braved the rainy weather to show support to Ukrainian residents.

MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services Michael Sun, DA Ward 132 councillor Annette Deppe and MP Madeleine Hicklin led a peaceful protest in Midrand on March 21. Those gathered held placards displaying messages such as, ‘NO TO WAR, save Ukraine’, ‘SAY NO TO RUSSIA stop the war!’, ‘Save Ukraine’.

This was a call to end the war between Russia and Ukraine by supporting all human rights with the #StandWithUkraine

The Midrand Reporter was there to capture some of the action:
