Patriotic Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie has warned members to stay away from planned 30 June “March to March” protests over illegal foreigners, saying the party will expel anyone linked to violence.
Patriotic Alliance (PA) leader Gayton McKenzie has warned party members to stay away from planned “March and March” protests linked to the 30 June deadline over illegal foreigners, saying the party will not tolerate violence and would expel anyone who assaults foreign nationals.
McKenzie made the remarks during a Facebook Live address on Wednesday evening, where he repeatedly urged PA members not to participate in the planned mobilisation and warned of serious consequences for anyone involved in unlawful conduct.
He said he did not want PA members to become involved in protest action that could lead to arrests or violence, saying he was not a leader who wanted to follow what he described as a political style focused on protests.
“So I don’t want to see a PA member at March and March. I’m not a leader who wants to be fashionable like ActionSA’s leader Herman Mashaba, but leading my people to jail. Who’s going to bail you?” he said.
