WSSD: South African Government Commends
Disciplined Marches
The South African Government wishes to commend the
leaders and the supporters of all the protest marches
that took place today for the disciplined way in which
they conducted themselves.
We are pleased to report that there were no reported
incidents of criminal behaviour during the various marches.
The manner in which the marches were conducted and the
atmosphere that prevailed, allowed people to express
themselves freely and without fear.
We must also commend the South African security services
for the professional manner in which they conducted
themselves and protected everyone concerned.
Today's events are a shining example of the democratic
values that exist in our country and the freedom that
our people have to express themselves.
