A growing crowd of demonstrators have gathered outside the Johannesburg Stock Exchange under the banner of the Occupy SA movement.

The demonstrators say they are showing their solidarity with the Occupy Movement worldwide, and are demanding change.

The Occupy Wall Street Campaign has seen huge support in New York.

In Johannesburg, one group from Thembisa are demanding wind turbines and renewable energy in their township.

Others say they would like an end to greed and corruption.

A similar protest took place in Cape Town this morning.
