Dumakude was speaking after their planned march for yesterday was called off at the eleventh hour due to the movement’s failure to adhere to the gathering’s regulations. The march was to be the movement’s official launch in KZN, with the organization’s national officials from Gauteng expected to attend.
“We have decided that we will follow the advice of the police, but the march will take place very soon. If we have to call on our legal advisers in order for it to take place, so be it,” Dumakude said.
The movement has made news in Gauteng by forcibly shutting down foreign-owned businesses, and its leader, Nhlanhla “Lux” Dlamini, was detained last week when he participated in a similar activity. Today is Dlamini’s scheduled court appearance.
The movement has been making headlines in Gauteng by forcefully shutting down businesses owned by foreign nationals, and last week its leader, Nhlanhla “Lux” Dlamini, was arrested when he led a similar activity. Dlamini is expected to appear in court today.
According to Dumakude, the main reason their movement is gaining traction is that it echoes the emotions of many South Africans.
“The proliferation of drugs that are peddled by foreigners and the highjacking of buildings are some of the frustrations that are felt by many people in our communities, and we have provided that platform,” he said.
He warned that they would continue their activities as they had grown tired of foreigners who did as they pleased.
