Hundreds of men adorned in traditional Zulu attire, affiliated to the March and March movement, marched through the streets of Durban, calling for the removal of illegal foreign nationals in the country.

Anti-illegal immigration group March and March says it will proceed with its planned national shutdown on June 30, calling on illegal foreigners to leave the country, despite the government calling for calm following high-level talks on rising protests over undocumented migration.

This follows an urgent meeting at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Monday, between ministers in the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security Cluster to address rising protests over illegal immigration.

The meeting focused on growing demonstrations against immigration and undocumented foreign nationals across the country.

Security cluster ministers and senior officials responsible for national security attended the discussions in Tshwane.
