The President of Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema led his party in protesting against South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (Sahpra) in Pretoria.
Julius Selo Malema says the party is trying to save lives hence the massive response to his call to march.
More than 2 000 people joined in the march.
During the hour-long march, Malema staged a sit-down in the middle of the street as part of their protest.
The EFF is demanding that Sahpra speeds up the approval of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine and the Chinese Sinovac manufactured Coronavac vaccine.
In February Sahpra said it was reviewing applications linked to the Sinovac and Sputnik vaccines.
Addressing the crowd before the march, Malema told his supporters that even though they supported the first national lockdown, they were not in support of further lockdowns.
“We’re not going to die in this stupid lockdown.
“We supported the first lockdown because we wanted to give them time to prepare for the surge.
“But now they stole from us instead of preparing to get more vaccines,” Malema said.
