Durban Metro Police have confirmed that the June 30 March and March protest against illegal immigration will proceed, although discussions continue over the final route as authorities oppose ending the march at the old drive-in site housing thousands of migrants.

The planned March and March protest in Durban on 30 June will go ahead, although discussions over the march route are continuing, according to the Durban Metro Police.

Durban Metro Police spokesperson Colonel Boysie Zungu said organisers and city officials had agreed that the march would begin at King Dinuzulu Park but had not yet reached agreement on its end point.

"I can confirm that we had discussions with representatives of March and March," Zungu told IOL.

"We agreed on the starting point of the march, which will be King Dinuzulu Park. Where we disagree is on the end point. They wanted the march to end at the old drive-in site, while we proposed City Hall, where government representatives will meet with them."
