A supporter and Al-Quds marshal at the march, Muthafier Newman, said it was encouraging to see Capetonians take time out of their day to support the cause  

"We are just having a march to show that we are supporting them and that we are here for them, and that they’re always in our hearts. Most of them are Muslim, Alhamdulillah, and in Islam we believe that many Muslims are our brothers and sisters."
