NPA and police deny arrest warrants were issued for March and March leaders

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and police in KwaZulu-Natal have rejected claims by the March and March Movement that arrest warrants have been issued for movement leaders Jacinta MaNgobese Zuma and Xolani Zuma ahead of the 4 November local government elections. The NPA and South African Police Service (SAPS) both dismissed the allegations as baseless rumors.

The NPA emphasized its commitment to independent and impartial prosecutorial decisions, guided solely by the constitution, legislation, and evidence. It also urged people and organizations to refrain from making unfounded allegations that could undermine the justice system. The police also stated that no case against the two leaders exists and encouraged activists to avoid statements that could incite violence. Both the NPA and SAPS stressed that they would not be deterred from enforcing the law.
