Thousands of South Africans marched to the Union Buildings in Pretoria on 10 june 2008 in a bid to fight against crime. There were whites, coloureds, blacks and they all showed unity against crime. They were carrying boards which said, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" lets stop crime. Organiser of the march Desmond Dube said, "Government must do something to stop crime and if they fail to do that, they must step down from their positions. '' He said, "It's a crime to receive a salary if you not dop the job.'' Some political parties used this oppotunity to canvass for the 2009 elections such as the Democratic Alliance and AZAPO. President Thabo Mbeki could not be there personally but former minister of Safety and Security Sydney Mafumadi was there and with the current national minister of Correctional Services Ngcode Balfour but he was interrupted by the protesters during his speech and that forced him to quickly end his speech.
