#March and March

South Africa is experiencing a significant anti-immigrant movement, highlighted by the March and March initiative advocating for the mass deportation of undocumented migrants by June 30, 2026. This movement has emerged amid rising unemployment, declining public services, and increasing insecurity, leading to heightened anti-immigrant violence and repatriation efforts by other African nations. While the movement's grievances are acknowledged, the underlying causes of the economic crisis are being debated.

The March and March movement has reiterated its demand for illegal immigrants in South Africa to self-deport by June 30, 2026. This call reflects the group's ongoing stance regarding immigration issues in the country.

The anti-migrant group March and March has clarified that its upcoming demonstrations on June 30 are intended as protests and not a shutdown. The group has stated it will not be held accountable for any unrest that may arise in connection with the protests.

Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, leader of the March and March movement, has denied allegations that her organization receives foreign funding. She asserts that the movement is financed solely through voluntary donations and personal contributions, and is not supported by taxpayer money or foreign donors.
