The people will gather at the Africa Unity square which is at the corner of Sam Nujoma and Nelson Mandela Avenue at 0800 Hours, then we will proceed with Sam Nujoma Street situated at the corner of Samora Machel and Sam Nujoma Street.

The people will camp outside the President’s offices, two of our members will hand over the petition to the President.

Once the President has received our petition, we will then proceed and march to the Chinese embassy to hand over another petition to the Ambassador.
