Thousands of people yesterday took part in a march in the city to mark the start of 16 days of activism for no violence against women and children.
A large police contingent with a ban d and horses accompanied the March which was led by Anglican archbishop Njongonkulu Ndungane and included Cape Town mayor Helen Zille and Western Cape education minister Cameron Dugmore.
The event use to be known as the Men’s March, but Ndungane decided it should be a march against violence for everybody.
Zille said the next struggle was to see violence against women and children stopped.
