WATCH | Sea of red as EFF supporters get ready to march in Durban streets

EFF supporters gathered at Park King Dinuzulu before a “visibility march” through Durban's inner-city to drum up support for party leader Julius Malema on Tuesday.

Supporters are expected to be bussed in as the party plans a show of force in KwaZulu-Natal which has largely been dominated by the ANC and the IFP before the hotly contested May 29 elections.

The province has 5.7-million people registered on the Electoral Commission of South Africa voters' roll.

The red berets are looking to build on the last national elections when its support in KwaZulu-Natal surged.

EFF secretary-general Marshall Dlamini is expected to address supporters amid a strong police presence.

This is a developing story.
