Activists protesting near Union Buildings in Pretoria, Gauteng Province, South Africa, Sept. 23. Possible disruptions.
Activists including the ActionSA party and "Operation Dudula" movement are currently protesting in Pretoria (Tshwane), Gauteng Province, Sept. 23. They are protesting against illegal immigration into South Africa. Demonstrators have gathered near the Union Buildings. Several dozen protesters are participating.
Localized increased security is likely. Road blockages and localized transport disruptions are possible in the area. Clashes between police and protesters, while unlikely, are possible if demonstrators ignore official orders to disperse or engage in acts of public violence.
Avoid the area. Plan accordingly for increased security in the Arcadia area of Pretoria, as well as for transport and service delivery disruptions. Allow extra time to reach destinations, and seek alternative of transport if necessary. Reconfirm the status of road routes before departure. Reconfirm administrative appointments.
