PRETORIA \u2013 Civic movement StandUpSA, in partnership with the youth-led organisation Enough Is Enough, led a \u201cRamaphosa Must Go\u201d march in Pretoria on Monday, demanding the resignation of President Cyril Ramaphosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Protesters gathered at Church Square before proceeding to the Union Buildings to deliver a memorandum of demands. The organisers have accused Ramaphosa\u2019s administration of failing to curb rampant corruption, tackle the nation’s high unemployment rate, and improve basic service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement, StandUpSA framed the action as a peaceful demonstration driven by widespread public frustration. They described it as a protest against what they see as \u201ca presidency disconnected from the realities of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis march is not out of anger, but out of love for our country and a commitment to its future,\u201d the movement insisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities confirmed they were notified of the demonstration, and police were deployed to maintain order and ensure the protest remained peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a separate incident, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema launched a scathing attack on Zandile Dabula, the leader of the anti-immigration group Operation Dudula, following a live television interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The controversy erupted on eNCA when Dabula was asked to define the term “Frontline States,” a key historical reference to the southern African nations that supported South Africa’s liberation movements during the anti-apartheid struggle in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dabula appeared unable to provide an answer, instead shifting the conversation to the Freedom Charter and internal leadership issues within her own organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malema shared a clip of the interview on social media, expressing his vehement disapproval. He captioned the post,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are subjected to rubbish, like proper garbage with no clue non whatsoever. Mxm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Operation Dudula, under Dabula’s leadership, has been a vocal critic of undocumented immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group has faced significant criticism for its methods, which have included blocking migrants’ access to healthcare and education, with accusers labelling their actions as xenophobic. Dabula has denied these allegations, maintaining that the group’s goal is to enforce South Africa’s immigration laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malema’s comments underscore the deep political divisions in South Africa concerning issues of immigration, historical knowledge, and national identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
