DURBAN - PIETERMARITZBURG’S streets are expected to be abuzz as supporters of former president Jacob Zuma flock to the city on Tuesday before his high court trial on Wednesday.
Leaders of the #HandsOffMsholozi Solidarity and Support Group said they were ready to host dozens of supporters arriving from all parts of the country.
The activation programme is expected to begin on Tuesday between 4pm and 6pm for the planning committee to “meet and greet” before attending the main night vigil event.
Planning committee chairperson Leon Rolls said that due to Covid-19 regulations, the night vigil would be between 6pm and 11pm. It would be a programme of prayers and messages of support from different structures before supporters retreated to their sleeping venue in Dale Park off Mayors Walk.

SOUTH Africa is ready to harness the benefits of 5G technology, but there’s much work to be done to urgently resolve outstanding regulatory and other matters.
Aimed at unpacking the myths, dispelling misinformation and showing how the technology can benefit South Africa in creating a more just and equal society were among the major themes during a webinar last week in which delegates were told that much work has to be done to ensure 5G becomes ubiquitous for Africans.
While job creation and growing the economy underpinned deliberations, the webinar took place amid global hysteria over 5G and its perceived harmful effects. Speakers told participants at the webinar that 5G remains a central issue for the entire globe but in South Africa it’s critical because of the centrality of technology in the country’s development path.
