OWN CORRESPONDENT, Durban | Thursday 10.00pm.
AFRICAN National Congress protesters in KwaZulu Natal are planning to march on the offices of KZN attorney-general Tim McNally and provincial police commissioner Chris Serfontein to demand their resignations.
The marches will be part of a programme of mass action by the ANC in KZN to protest against the violence there, the ANC said in a statement after the second meeting of the newly-elected KZN Provincial Executive Committee in Durban on Thursday.
The programme will start in Pietermaritzburg on August 20 and will march on McNally’s office to demand his resignation “so that there can be democratic transformation in his office”, the statement said.
The ANC also called for the speedy transfer from the province of police officials who have been implicated in violence.
“The continued presence of these police officers will not assist in regaining the confidence of our people in the South African Police Service in general,” the ANC said at a later press conference.
