March and March to resume Durban picket on Sunday
The March and March Movement has postponed its planned Saturday protest outside Durban’s Refugee Reception Centre to Sunday, while police say 15 suspects were arrested after overnight violence and looting.
The March and March protest group plans to resume its picket in front of Durban's Refugee Reception Centre on Sunday evening, October 11, following its closure on Saturday. Leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma stated that the protest is aimed at voicing their concerns about the situation. Last week's anti-immigration protests in Durban caused significant damage, including over 14 vehicles being torched and various shops looted and burned.
Police confirmed that 15 individuals were arrested in connection with the overnight violence and looting, with most of the detainees being students. Ngobese-Zuma emphasized the group's opposition to economic migrants posing as refugees and vowed not to tolerate such behavior. The movement is still working to determine the exact timing for their meeting on Che Guevara Road.
Meanwhile, the KwaZulu-Natal police continue their investigation into the incidents, with the arrest count rising to 19, including four foreign nationals arrested for an attempted murder that sparked the violence.
