Inverness joined a worldwide protest movement over conditions in South Africa that have worsened during the Covid -19 pandemic.
Supporters gathered in Falcon Square last Saturday to highlight the inequity of life for many South Africans.
Local organiser Aniele Viljoen-Steele said the Inverness event went well so another is planned for October 24 from 11am till noon again in Falcon Square.
Move One Million campaign wanted to express to the South African government and the world that ordinary citizens are no longer prepared to accept the long-standing status quo of various issues including crime, poverty, corruption, lack of job creation, lack of access to basic housing, healthcare, education and food security.
A sizeable turnout attended the morning of South African tunes and dance, as well as a minute’s silence.
Move One Million launched in July to encourage at least one million South Africans, locally and internationally, to stand united at protests last Saturday.
