Supreme Court calls for alternative protest venue to Jantar Mantar in Delhi
The Supreme Court on Friday called for a rethink of Delhi’s decades-old arrangement of holding demonstrations at Jantar Mantar
A vehicle was set ablaze and police responded by firing rubber bullets outside the Constitutional Court in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. The confrontation unfolded as protesters, led by the controversial media figure Ngizwe Mchunu, marched from Kwa Mai Mai in the city's central business district towards the court. Mchunu's supporters claimed they were pleased that the Home Affairs Department had withdrawn asylum seekers' applications, but they emphasized that this does not negate the Constitutional Court's previous ruling.
To date, there have been no reports of injuries or arrests. Mchunu has issued a stern warning that further protests may follow, including a potential shutdown of Johannesburg the following Tuesday in opposition to the court's immigration-related decision. He stresses the importance of unity, stating, "Once we unite, we will never break; we will conquer and reach the promised land."
