GEORGE NEWS & VIDEO - Rastafarians from across George gathered earlier this morning, Human Rights day, Tuesday 21 March, to take part in a cannabis decriminalisation protest.

They feel that since the Constitutional Court declared certain sections of the Drugs Act and Medicines Act unconstitutional in 2018, and some progress has been made in the drafting of the Cannabis for Private Purposes Bill, it has taken too long to for actual legislation to be passed since the ruling.  

The group marched down Nelson Mandela Boulevard, through the CBD to the George Police Station where memorandums were handed to the police and the National Prosecuting Authority.
