5 March 2023

The DNU CPF is aware of the messages circulating regarding marches and mentions of a National Shutdown for tomorrow, 6 March 2023.

There are two marches planned for the CBD that have been approved, and law enforcement will be present for the approved marches.

There is some anticipation of major arterial routes in and out of the city being disrupted, so please plan accordingly and monitor your local security and traffic groups for updates.

As a precaution, all key role-players have been placed on a heightened alert status, and have contingency plans in place in order to respond swiftly and effectively, should the need arise.

We request that residents do not share or take notice of unverified messages and voice notes but rather rely on their relevant CPF structures and/or other verified sources of information.

Further updates will be shared as they become known.
