No arrest warrants issued for Jacinta and Xolani Zuma, says NPA

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has refuted allegations that arrest warrants have been issued for March Movement leader Jacinta MaNgobese-Zuma and her husband, Xolani Zuma. In a statement, the NPA explicitly denied any warrants had been issued, countering claims made by the movement after it received information about the alleged legal action.

The NPA stressed that its prosecutorial decisions are made independently, guided by the Constitution, legislation, and available evidence. It also noted it does not make comments on matters of operations like potential arrests and investigations before the law enforcement process is completed. The NPA urged against making unfounded allegations that could undermine the criminal justice system.

The authority's statement comes after Xolani Zuma claimed arrest warrants had been issued against him and Jacinta, who heads the March and March Movement. The movement, known for campaigning against undocumented immigration, questioned the authenticity of the reported warrants, suggesting they were linked to the group's activities.

Despite his doubts, Zuma offered to surrender to the authorities if the information proved true. The claims provoked a strong reaction from supporters of the March and March Movement, who vowed to continue their campaign and demanded political consequences if the allegations were true.
