A large crowd of Numsa members protested outside the Germiston Magistrates Court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Spokesman for the Germiston SAPS WO Andr\u00e9 de Jager told the GCN they were protesting as 27 Numsa members were appearing in court on various charges.<\/p>

The street in front of the court was closed to traffic as the 500-strong crowd sang songs and listened to a speaker.<\/p>\n

The Germiston police then told the strikers they needed to move to another location and they marched through the streets of the CBD to a park on Linton Jones Street.<\/p>

They are currently congregated there, listening to a speaker.<\/p>\n

The Germiston SAPS are monitoring them closely.<\/p>\n
