African National Congress (ANC) members in the Boland regional in the Western Cape are demonstrating in Worcester to highlight a concern regarding what it calls the violation of the country's constitution.

Regional secretary, Zinzo Mtini says they want the Breëde Valley Municipality to stop the issuing of "Green Cards" allegedly by the town's local policing forum. 

“The ANC in the region discovered there's a green card system issued to gardeners and domestic workers when they had to enter the white areas. We believe as the ANC this is against the constitution of the country, which was adopted in 1996.” 

Meanwhile, the Breede Valley Municipality has condemned the "green card system". In a statement the Mayor, Antoinette Steyn, says the DA-led municipality has nothing to do with the so called Worcester Dompas.  

Steyn claims the green cards were issued by the police and that the ANC should direct their memorandum to SA Police Service (SAPS).
