WATCH: ‘Every street in Tshwane must be occupied’ – Malema urges EFF march

Economic Freedom Fighter's leader Julius Malema has urged his supporters to occupy the streets of Tshwane as the red berets call for President Jacob Zuma to stand down.

Clad in a red golf shirt and navy blue tracksuit‚ Malema told supporters in Pretoria’s Church Square: “Fellow fighters‚ we are here to demand the resignation of Jacob Zuma‚ therefore you are not at the wrong place.

“We are going to be here until we get a proper signal. If Zuma doesn’t hear us today‚ we are not going anywhere.”

The EFF appeared to have prepared for a wait‚ and a heap of loaves of bread‚ tinned fruit jam and tanks of juice could be seen in a tent erected at Church Square to feed the masses of people who brought the city centre to a standstill.

“I have never seen so much bread‚ jam and juice in my entire life. Juice in tanks? That’s heavy‚” Katlego Ntsoane from Limpopo said.

Groupings of EFF members were marching all over the city‚ defying the Tshwane metro police's approved route along WF Nkomo Street going west‚ past Bosman Street‚ turning left into Sophie Du Bruyn Street‚ past Pretorius Street and then turning left into Francis Baard Street.

An EFF member was heard saying on the phone that they were complying with Malema’s directive to occupy the whole of the city.

Malema had earlier told the marchers that “when we are done with Zuma‚ we are going for white CEOs”‚ and that the EFF is also calling for the resignation of the National Director of Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams.

Abrahams on Monday dropped what many have called politically motivated fraud charges against Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and two former SA Revenue Service officials. The case would have been heard in Pretoria on Wednesday.
