Thousands of people gathered for the Pride march in South Africa’s largest city Johannesburg on Saturday despite a warning from the US embassy of a possible terror attack.
The event took place under heavy security in the upmarket district of Sandton, identified by the US embassy as a potential target.
South African authorities had assured organisers it was safe to proceed with the march, returning after a two-year break because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The US warning angered Pretoria. President Cyril Ramaphosa called it “unfortunate” and said it was causing “panic” in the country. » | Agence France-Presse | Saturday, October 29, 2022
