Ghost Lady Says March and March Stop Foreign Nationals at Moore Road Home Affairs

Members of the group March and March stopped foreign nationals from entering the Home Affairs office on Moore Road in Durban this morning, according to Ghost Lady, a member of the group.

Ghost Lady said the foreign nationals arrived at the office and claimed they had been called by Home Affairs officials. She reported that police officers allowed some of them to go inside. March and March members, however, did not want them to enter.

She added that the group does not even want Home Affairs employees to go inside the building. Some workers were seen carrying many files. This raised suspicions among March and March members that the office might still be working behind closed doors, even if it looks closed from outside.

Ghost Lady spoke outside the office while police and other people stood nearby. March and March has been active in Durban for some time. The group says it wants to stop illegal immigration and make sure only people with the right papers get help from Home Affairs.

The incident comes after weeks of tension around Home Affairs offices in the city. March and March members have previously gathered at the refugee centre and other offices. They have asked the department to stop processing applications from foreign nationals until stricter checks are done.

Police were present at Moore Road this morning. They managed the situation as the foreign nationals tried to enter and the March and March members stood in the way. No further details about arrests or injuries were given in the report.

Ghost Lady’s account shows the ongoing disagreement between some South African residents and foreign nationals over access to Home Affairs services. The group continues to say that offices should not operate normally while questions about illegal entries remain unanswered.

Many people in Durban have raised concerns about queues, documents, and the number of foreign nationals seeking help at these offices. March and March has positioned itself as a voice for those who feel the system is not working fairly for South Africans first.

The situation at Moore Road remains under watch by both the group and the police. Home Affairs has not yet commented on the events of this morning or on the claims that files were being carried out of the building.

The report from Ghost Lady gives a clear picture of what happened on the ground from the side of March and March. It highlights the continued stand-off at one of Durban’s busiest Home Affairs offices.
