VEERNINGING- The Emfuleni Local Municipality has distanced itself from a planned march by the MK Labour Desk scheduled for Wednesday, 13 May 2026 in Vereeniging. The municipality says it has not received any formal written notification for the demonstration and has rejected claims that its Public Safety Department is involved, calling them incorrect and misleading.
While affirming the constitutional right to protest, the municipality emphasised that all public gatherings must comply with legal requirements to ensure safety, order, and respect for other residents’ rights. It urged organisers to follow proper procedures and warned that failure to do so could result in unlawful gatherings, disruption of services, and possible conflict, calling for responsible and lawful engagement.
