Police have been deployed ahead of March and March protest in Durban
March and March says it is concerned by the President's response of influx undocumented migrants.
Durban police have established a significant presence outside the City Hall in anticipation of a protest organized by the anti-undocumented immigration group, March and March. The demonstration, which will likely draw the attention of SADC leaders attending the 46th SADC Summit at the International Convention Centre, is expected to draw attention to the group's concerns about the influx of undocumented immigrants.
Theresa Nortjie, a March and March activist, expressed frustration with President Cyril Ramaphosa's handling of the issue, questioning his previous lack of action while now raising the matter in front of regional leaders. Nortjie emphasized the group's opposition to allowing undocumented immigrants in the country, stating that they would face legal consequences if they attempted to do so in their home nations.
The police have increased security measures around the City Hall to ensure the protest proceeds smoothly.
