JMPD spokesperson, Xolani Fihla says the participants will line up on 12th Avenue in Alexandra at 10 am.
“Road Closures will be implemented at Pan Africa Mall in Alexandra from 5 am until the procession arrives, which is on Watt Street and Second Avenue, Watt Street and Third Avenue, Watt Street and Pretoria Main Road,” he says.
