March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has called on supporters to avoid violence and looting during a planned June 30 shutdown targeting undocumented foreign nationals.

March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has called on participants in the planned June 30 shutdown targeting undocumented foreign nationals not to engage in looting or violence.

Addressing supporters at the MK Party march at Durban City Hall on Wednesday, Ngobese-Zuma issued marching orders ahead of the protest.

“I want you to do only one thing on June 30, or even two: there is no one I am asking to loot. There is no one who will come and you have to beat him or her,” she said.

She warned against violence and theft, saying such behaviour would undermine the movement’s message.
