Residents on Conrad Drive and Jan Smuts Avenue in Craighall Park took to the streets to protest against President Jacob Zuma.
Protester Penny Bramwell-Jones said, “I am marching because I have had enough, this is a beautiful country. It’s time for everybody to stand together and speak up. I am tired of Zuma stealing from us.”
The protester added that Zuma is stealing from South Africa’s children and grandchildren. “All of our tax money has been fiddled away for your own selfish ways. We’ve had enough of you and have no respect for you. Zuma you are junk,” said Bramwell-Jones.

Joyce Jabane said she is unhappy with Zuma, “I don’t want us to end up like Zimbabwe because we are the best part of Africa. I took a half-day off because I can not just sit and complain on twitter and do nothing. I am not immigrating because of this.”
