EFF MEMBERS slowly gathered outside their offices in Glenwood in Durban from the early hours of this morning, as the national shutdown is yet to fully get off the ground.
The Glenwood UIP released a statement this morning, saying: “We have noted the EFF members gathering outside Waltons on the corner of Bulwer and Clark. This is to be expected as it is where their offices are located. It is understood that they will leave from here to meet at King Dinizulu Park which is the gathering point for the march. SAPS are in attendance.”
