Hundreds of unemployed Tshwane residents marched on Thursday from a garage in Rosslyn to the nearby BMW motor car manufacturing plant, where they delivered a memorandum of demands that seeks to compel the company to hire and upskill local residents.
The protest was led by activist groups in Tshwane, such as Soil of Africa and the Inwooners Baagi Civic Movement.
Soil of Africas Bongani Ramontja said it was unacceptable that manufacturing companies continue to operate in their city and make profits while thousands remain unemployed.
