Preparations underway at Union Buildings for National Women’s Day
Major roads around the city centre have been closed.
Preparations are underway at the Union Buildings in Pretoria in anticipation of the annual National Women's Day event. President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to give the keynote address, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the 1956 women's march. The Pretoria central business district (CBD) is currently under heightened security measures as event preparations progress.
Major city roads have been restricted, with law enforcement agencies, including police and emergency services, present to ensure a safe gathering. It is advised that motorists steer clear of the CBD and utilize alternative routes due to the anticipated large attendance for this significant commemoration.
