The march took protesters from Beyers Naude Square to Marshall Street where memorandums were handed over.
NUM national spokesperson Lesiba Seshoka said the miners were protesting primarily against the lack of transparency in the industry as well as racism. NUM is also demanding improved skills training and a greater role for women in the mining industry.
A memorandum was also handed over to a representative of the mineral and energy affairs department.
On Thursday, the Chamber's Acting Chief Executive, Dr Frans Barker, said that the members of the Chamber had made "significant progress in the transformation of the industry in line with voluntary, statutory and negotiated commitments."
Minnaar said the march went off peacefully with no incidents of violence reported.
