Okay, then why respond to my post?

The point is, they reported this in a way they do not normaly report on these types of illegal protests....
 
What merits are there to debate about activity, that is illegal?

I am not able to get out of my building and see clients, due to this --- I am not too sure, how they usually report on such protests...do tell...

The OP does not mention that. Just poor service delivery. Just going purely on what News24 is reporting, not debating the merits...

The Ses’khona People’s Rights Movement, led by Nkohla and Andile Lili, will march to the provincial legislature and demand land for housing and better sanitation delivery.

It will be joined by new allies, including the Central Unity Taxi Association. Its representative Zama Mkula said black-owned taxi operators were victimised because the roll-out of MyCiTi was done without proper consultation.

The protest is not about the ANC members who were expelled according to this. It just so happens that the expelled members are taking part:
Expelled ANC member Loyiso Nkohla and the suspended Andile Lili will appeal against the findings of a party disciplinary hearing – and are planning to participate in an illegal march.

Boo hoo, nobody asked me either.

Taxi operators, pay tax, drive like humans or just STFU !
 
Vote me for premier of the Western Cape, and I promise that any illegal strike will be suppressed by helicopter gunships. No mercy for lawless looting barbarian ANC members using "service delivery" as an excuse to destabilise the province.

So for what area and service is this strike in aid of ? As far as I know in other parts of the country, the "legitimate" service delivery strikers do not march to the capital CBD's either.
 
The people clamored that the bars around them were not forged of steel strong enough.

"More Iron! More Eyes!" they yelled. Give us our cells, and where are the guards?
 
Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
 
Ses'khona Peoples Rights Movement spokesperson Sithembele Majova has been arrested.

It is no longer illegal for blacks to strike in this country. "Illegal strike" is nonsensical.

Your comment is nonsensical.

It's a march, not a strike and unless a march has a permit it is illegal.

Capiche ?

When was it ever illegal for blacks to strike in this country?

The Native Labour (Settlement of Disputes) Act, 1953 (renamed in 1964 to the Bantu Labour (Settlement of Disputes) Act, in 1973 to the Bantu Labour Relations Regulation Act, and in 1978 to the Black Labour Relations Regulation Act) was a South African law that formed part of the apartheid system of racial segregation in South Africa. The effect of the law was to prohibit strike action by Africans.
