#Black Monday: Cabinet slams 'displaying symbols of oppression'
2 November 2017
Cape Town - Cabinet has condemned "certain incidents" that reportedly took place during various #BlackMonday marches around the country, Communications Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane said on Thursday.
Kubayi-Ngubane was speaking about the circulation of images on social media earlier this week during various marches, protesting the rising spate of farm murders.
The images included protesters reportedly waving the old apartheid flag and burning the new South African flag.
Cabinet acknowledged that some of the images may have been old, or "fake news", but the intent in sharing them warranted a response.
