The March and March Movement says it will intensify its weekly demonstrations following the death of Gauteng leader Andile Mvuyelwa Somgada.

The March and March movement says it will intensify its nationwide Thursday marches following the fatal shooting of its Gauteng leader, Andile Mvuyelwa Somgxada, and what it describes as a wave of threats against its members.

Somgxada led the movement in Greenfields, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.

National spokesperson Sandile Dube said Somgxada, whom he described as a "dedicated and peace-loving patriotic South African", was gunned down as he left his home on July 4.

"He was rushed to hospital for medical treatment, where he fought for his life until the final hour on Thursday, July 9, 2026, when he was pronounced dead," Dube said.
