This picture was also seen at the Cape Town march. It's doubtful that's what JP stands for.

Yes, that's EFF leader Julius Malema holding hands with UDM leader Bantu Holomisa. Such sensible shoes they're wearing.

Actually, the Durban march is facing a bit of a delay because the city's Metro Police won't let marchers use a truck.

The march is about to get started in Durban, says News24's Kaveel Singh.

News24 reporters Paul Herman and Tina Hsu are at the march in Cape Town.
