THE PRESIDENCY: REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

Pretoria 0001

Dear Senior Supt. Nkwashu,

I wish to confirm that Mr. Vusi Mavimbela, Director-General in The Presidency, has directed that all marches to the Union Buildings and The Presidency be suspended until further notice. This is to allow us to review guidelines relating to the granting of permission to those organizations wishing to march and submit memoranda to The Presidency.

The idea is to ensure we do not interfere with the public's right to be heard by The Presidency while at the same time ensuring that the processes are streamlined without compromising security.

I look forward to a continued cordial relationship between our two institutions.

SIGNED

Dumisani Mahlasela

Head: Public Participation and Public Relations

CC: Mr Vusi Mavimbela: Director-General, The Presidency
Mr Vusi Mona: Deputy Director-General for Communications, The Presidency
