Both the Richards Bay and Pongola communities will participate in a Black Monday peaceful protest against farm murders, which will be held on Sunday, 25 October.
The Richards Bay participants will gather at Veldenvlei community hall and will proceed towards Meerensee.
A cross will be planted at the R34/R619 intersection before the procession continues on to Meerensee, planting a second cross at the entrance to the beach area on Davidson Lane.
The Pongola community will gather at 11am at T-junction (R66) on the N2.
In the ‘no farmer, no food’ campaign, organisers will not tolerate any racism nor the flying of any old flags.
