Maimane to lead drug march in Eldorado Park

Tomorrow, 10 October 2015, Democratic Alliance Leader Mmusi Maimane MP, will lead a march against drug abuse in Eldorado Park, Gauteng.

Eldorado Park is severely affected by unemployment, substance abuse and crime, yet residents have seen little intervention from the Gauteng or National Government. President Zuma visited Eldorado Park in 2013 and made a number of promises to the community – of which none have been delivered.

Maimane will be joined by Western Cape Premier, Helen Zille, Constituency Head, Makashule Gana MP, and Ward Councillor, Peter Rafferty.

The march will take place as follows:

Date: Saturday, 10 October 2015

Gathering Time: 12h00

Start Time: 12:30

Start Venue: Cnr of Mahonie Cresent and Hoof Road, Eldorado Park

End Venue: Eldorado Park Police Station, cnr of Buckingham Ave and Hoof Road, Eldorado Park
