There is a counter-protest in front of the ANC's regional offices at Oxford Street, as supporters of Metro Mayor Xola Pakati took to the streets to defend him.
This follows Wednesday's march by supporters of  Dr WB Rubusana regional chairperson Pumlani Mkolo who want him to remain in office.
The ANC national leaders resolved last weekend during a national executive committee meeting that Mkolo must resign as regional chair. He won last month's elective conference against Pakati.
The conference resolved to recall Pakati as Mayor to avoid "two centres of power". But Pakati's supporters blocked Oxford Street, and banged on the locked doors of Rubusana building at upper Oxford, calling on Mkolo to leave the building.
It was unclear whether Mkolo and his executive were inside the building. ­..
