March and March-affiliated parolee detained after securing bail
Nsibande was previously convicted for kidnapping and robbery in 2009.
A parolee linked to anti-immigration group March and March has been arrested by authorities following their bail in Durban Magistrate’s Court. Wandile Nsibande, along with two others, faced charges of public violence and incitement following recent protests against immigration in Durban. Upon being granted R1000 bail, Nsibande was quickly re-arrested before he could leave the court.
Nsibande has a prior conviction for kidnapping and robbery in 2009, and he was released on parole in April 2022, with a supervision period until 2034. Singabakho Nxumalo, a spokesperson for the Department of Correctional Services, stated that the parole board will decide Nsibande's future. Nxumalo explained that parolees and probationers must adhere to specific conditions at all times.
If violated, they are subject to detention for at least 48 hours, after which a decision must be made by the parole board. The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) denied reports of arrest warrants issued against March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma and her husband, Xolani Zuma, despite the advocacy movement alleging such warrants.
