Are you going to march from the Chamber of Mines in Main Street, Johannesburg CBD, to the Stock Exchange in Sandton?
And then march all the way to Pretoria to have a night vigil, and toyi-toyi again the next day? No. In fact it is going to be a rolling bus action, with the buses paid for by some hidden millionaires and by workers' money coughed up by NUMSA This is on two working days, and if workers take off they are not protected: They can be fired. So the number of actual NUMSA members present will be minimal to zero. Who is volunteering to bring the stones this time? Last time they came from Limpopo. It doesn't look a whole lot like a revolution at this stage, to me. Is victory certain? Ask the Minister of Sports.
