CAPE TOWN – Anti-femicide protesters were being stopped from approaching the venue where the World Economic Forum is taking place on Thursday.

President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier accepted a memorandum from protesters outside Parliament and promised to address the nation later.

Their memorandum covers problems ranging from gender-based violence to xenophobia and human rights violations.

Police officers once again employed stun grenades and water cannons to quell protesters and move them from the building.

Three people were arrested during the course of the demonstration, one of them reportedly an underage girl.
