Steven Tau has been at the march from the start. He is an eye witness. This is the third update he has posted. 'The Times' reports that the Johannesburg anti-xenophobia march has only drawn 1000 supporters. This compares to the 6000 Public Service workers marching in Pretoria at the same time. Without comparing the two different causes, it's clear that the trade unionists are by far the better organisers! Viva, COSATU, Viva! 10% and R1500! _____
