MOSSEL BAY NEWS AND VIDEO - A successful Move One Million rally was held in Mossel Bay on Saturday, 24 October.

Move One Million is a nationwide group protesting against government corruption, injustice and farm murders.

The rally on Saturday was well attended and was more multi-racial than the first rally which was held in September.

The protest action took the form of a slow drive from George to Mossel Bay. Participants drove through the village of Great Brak on the way to Mossel Bay.
There were significantly more protestors on foot in Mossel Bay than at September's rally. The protestors walked, carrying posters protesting against corruption.

Mossel Bay's Daryl Raubenheimer, a local Move One Million organiser who helped in arranging Saturday's protest, said: "Our purpose is to bring to the attention of the less fortunate that they have a voice and can speak up against the ANC government, which does not do the right thing for them. We are anti-corruption."

The demonstrators met at the Point in Mossel Bay at 13:00. Vehicles, motorbikes, walkers and their dogs, all turned up at the meeting area.

Raubenheimer commended Paul Botha, a Mossel Bay tattoo artist, who went to great lengths to make the rally a success. She said the local organisers all put their personal time, energy and funds into the rally on Saturday. "We spent a lot of money. It was funded by ourselves. Paul was very active yesterday and he did a lot for the rally."

A mobile stage on a truck, with a sound system, was deployed at the Point, so that the protestors could be addressed. Botha told the crowd from the stage that the ANC government had failed the country: it was corrupt, it had not provided housing for the poor, it had failed farmers who provided food for the country and it had failed business owners.
