The DA’s march against Cosatu in the Johannesburg city centre became violent earlier. Cosatu members allegedly stormed the march and rocks were thrown. In the process, DA supporters and a journalist from the Mail & Guardian were injured after being hit with stones.

This resulted in the march being diverted. DA marchers taking part in the march against Cosatu in Johannesburg were also told to take off their blue shirts in fear of Cosatu supporters as police fired teargas on this morning.

DA leaders, including Helen Zille, youth leader Makashule Gana, parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko and national spokesperson Mmusi Maimane were leading the protest.

Here are some pics taken at the event:
