Addressing a crowd earlier, Duarte said: “Many people who live here are very comfortable, nothing has changed for them. But we are going to change this road, we are calling this road, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela Road. Because we have to challenge the fact that we need to make sure that our economy is driven by black South Africans. It isn’t right that there’s still an economy that is still in the hands of a minority,” explains Duarte.
