Amidst conflicting statements from leaders, challenges remain as the countdown to the June 30 deadline begins, with Nkosikhona "Phakelumthakathi" Ndabandaba and Ngizwe Mchunu expecting more than one million to join the protest action.
Nkosikhona "Phakel’umthakathi" Ndabandaba, leader of the Insizwa Ngobunsizwa Development Foundation which is working along March and March against illegal foreigners, on Sunday said the June 30 deadline set by anti-illegal immigration groups for undocumented migrants to leave the country, will not involve violence or looting.
"We will be showing the government that we are a peaceful group of people, and there will be no looting as we lead one million men".
During a media briefing held on Thursday, Minister of Home Affairs Leon Schreiber announced new measures following a significant drug bust at the Beitbridge border, with contraband worth over R1 billion seized.
Schreiber said: "The time for our borders to be a free-for-all is over," indicating a shift towards more robust enforcement of border security.
