Crowds Chant 'Zuma Must Fall' During Freedom Day Protest

Hundreds of people participated in an anti-government #ZumaMustFall march across Cape Town on April 27, coinciding with President Jacob Zuma leading celebrations for South Africa’s Freedom Day.

Protests calling for Zuma to resign from office have grown in popularity in recent months, due to his handling of the country’s faltering economy.
