KZN Police Commissioner Urges Responsible Protests Amid Immigration Frustrations

Mkhwanazi told MDNtv that ongoing marches by the March & March movement stem from unaddressed complaints about undocumented foreign nationals, crime, jobs, and services, with demonstrations hitting Durban, Richards Bay, Mbombela, and North West Province.

He stressed that immigration enforcement is the state’s job and warned against vigilantism, while police arrest thousands in operations and Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli urges businesses not to hire or house undocumented foreigners. His balanced stance has earned praise as a ‘fearless patriot’ from many, though some call it irresponsible, as protests build toward a June 30 deadline.
