But Zuma will be at the Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown attending his 75th birthday celebratory rally, organised by the ANC.
Former finance minister Pravin Gordhan – who with his deputy Mcebisi Jonas was axed by Zuma, angering South Africans – is also celebrating his 68th birthday today.
Gordhan said his plans were “very simple – relax and spend the day with family”.
On the eve of the mass action yesterday, Zuma was in Westonaria, where he conducted a site visit of an agri-park project.
Zuma appeared unconcerned by the growing calls for his removal and made no mention of the march, but instead beamed when the crowd burst out singing Happy Birthday.
