DA March attacked by ANC members in JHB.

The march by the Democratic Alliance (DA) to Beyers Naude Gardens in the Johannesburg CBD was cut short after it was intercepted by a group of African National Congress (ANC) supporters that attacked the legal march with bricks and forced the police to intervene.

The DA march was legal and peacefully making its way to Beyers Naude Square.

They were intercepted by a group of ANC members.

The police fired tear-gas and stun grenades to stop them attacking the march.

The irony of this sign seems lost on this ANC member after they violently stopped a legal march by the DA to Beyers Naude Square in Johannesburg.
