Jobless graduates, struggling business owners, and army veterans in Pietermaritzburg demand change, leading a show of support for Jacob Zuma's new party, M.K., in a march of around 500 demonstrators.
Marchers display discontent with the current governing party, expressing their grievances through protests for basic needs like water and electricity, embodying the sentiment of seeking change alongside Zuma's leadership.
Zuma's supporters, disappointed with the ineffectiveness and corruption of the ruling party, have become a significant voting bloc, potentially positioning Zuma as a pivotal figure in the upcoming general election.
Zuma's absence in the march due to a Constitutional Court hearing on his eligibility to stand for election highlights his controversial past, including his resignation in 2018 and subsequent conviction for corruption.
