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.

Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, leader of March and March, calls for a peaceful protest on June 30 against undocumented foreign nationals, urging supporters to focus on dialogue with the government rather than violence or looting.

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.
