March and March sets the record straight on June 30 | It's a protest, not a shutdown

March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma says her movement will not take responsibility for any potential unrest linked to the demonstrations.

The leader of the March and March movement, Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, says the organisation will not take any responsibility for anything that goes wrong arising from the nationwide protests planned for June 30, which call for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa.

Speaking in Midrand, Johannesburg, on Wednesday, Ngobese-Zuma said responsibility for public order rests with the state.

She said the mobilisation stems from long-standing community frustrations over undocumented migration and government enforcement failures.

A coalition of 27 civil society groups has confirmed plans for nationwide protests next week Tuesday, calling for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa.
