On Tuesday, the DA was due to lead a march against state capture in Limpopo. DA leader Mmusi Maimane was to head the protest, along with the EFF and the United Democratic Movement. The group was scheduled to make its way to the provincial treasury. "Jacob Zuma and the ANC have normalised the abuse of the people’s money and institutions for self-benefit‚ while neglecting their duty to create jobs and build a better SA," the DA said in a statement. "There is no better case study than the province of Limpopo — corrupted to the point of near bankruptcy‚ and economically stagnant." Since President Jacob Zuma’s Cabinet reshuffle at the end of March‚ there have been nationwide protests aimed at intensifying the call for him to step down. The reshuffle angered members of the tripartite alliance, too, who called on him to step down. While Zuma has said the marches were driven by racism‚ Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has said leaders must listen to protesters. TMG Digital
