A coalition of trade unions and social movements is set to march to Parliament today in protest against government-proposed budget cuts. The demonstration reflects growing concerns over potential further reductions in social spending, which could exacerbate economic hardships faced by the working class.
Prominent speakers at the event include former anti-apartheid activist Reverend Allan Boesak, SAFTU General Secretary Zwlinzima Vavi, and COSATU President Zingiswa Losi.
During the march, organizers plan to deliver a memorandum outlining their demands to the government, emphasizing the need for increased support for vulnerable communities amid ongoing economic strain.
