The Disgruntled people who gathered for Freedom Day celebrations at the Absa Stadium in Durban threw objects and disrupted President Kgalema Motlanthe’s speech when they complained about a poor sound system.
Most of the crowd began singing African National Congress songs and Motlanthe was forced to stop speaking while ANC provincial chairperson Zweli Mkhize tried to persuade the crowd to listen.
The crowd had begun gathering at the stadium before eight this morning. A large section of the audience wore T-shirts bearing Jacob Zuma’s face. The Confederation Cup balloons were released after the president's speech eventually went ahead.
