Protestors demand state of
emergency
A group of police with riot
vehicles have stopped protestors who are mainly students, from entering the
Cape Town International Convention Centre where the World Economic Forum is
currently underway. The #AmINext had a silent protest where they gathered at
the train, taped their mouths and marched in silence to the CTICC. In the same instance
the #RememberNene protestors, UCT students and members of the public, had a
picket at the gates of Parliament and later joined the silent protestors at the
CTICC.
The protestors are demanding
action from President Cyril Ramaphosa surrounding the ongoing problems of
femicide and gender-based violence in South Africa. President Cyril Ramaphosa is
attending the World Economic Forum at the CTICC and has yet to respond to the
protestors’ concerns.
