Protest actions should be effective, says FF Plus
11 April 2017
Public protest action in the form of marches against the ANC with the aim to put pressure on pres Jacob Zuma to resign, must be effective and therefore the party supports any action with this goal, says Dr Pieter Groenewald, leader of the FF Plus.
Dr Groenewald says although the FF Plus is not objecting to the proposed march on Wednesday (tomorrow) by opposition parties, care must be taken that such action is not overdone and lose its desired impact.
"Protest actions that arise spontaneously from the public also carries more weight since the ANC will downplay any action coming from political parties as mere political point scoring.
"Spontaneous action from the public will also not be so easy to dismiss as insignificant and the government will have to take notice of the problem.
