The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) opposition party is planning a protest march through central Johannesburg from Mary Fitzgerald Square to the Constitutional Court starting from 08:00 on Nov. 26. They are demanding that authorities resume their investigation of incumbent President Ramaphosa over allegations of illegal detention of foreign currency, amongst other issues. Several hundred to more than a thousand participants are likely to attend the event.
