Lawyer Xolani Zuma Shares Reasons for Calling on SA to Defend Against Threats From Foreign Nationals

‎March and March lawyer Xolani Christopher Zuma has shared his reasons for calling on South Africans to stand together and defend their country against what he describes as threats associated with foreign nationals, particularly those living in the country illegally.

‎‎Zuma, who is the husband of March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, has become a prominent figure in South Africa’s heated immigration debate. Through his involvement with the movement, he has supported calls for stricter immigration enforcement, stronger border controls and the deportation of undocumented foreign nationals.

‎‎The movement argues that the government must prioritise the safety, economic opportunities and welfare of South African citizens while addressing concerns about illegal immigration.

‎‎According to Zuma and other campaigners, the country faces significant challenges, including high unemployment, crime, gender-based violence and pressure on public services. They believe the government must take more decisive action to address these problems and ensure that immigration laws are properly enforced.

‎‎Zuma’s position comes amid growing public debate over the government’s handling of immigration, with campaigners demanding greater accountability from authorities responsible for border management and the documentation of foreign nationals.

‎In recent months, March and March has organised demonstrations calling for stricter immigration measures. Its demands have included the removal of undocumented migrants, improved enforcement of immigration laws and greater protection for South African businesses and workers.

‎‎The movement has also criticised the government’s response to gender-based violence, arguing that authorities must take practical steps to protect women and children from crime.

‎‎On September 30, 2026, Zuma criticised President Cyril Ramaphosa’s proposed measures to address gender-based violence, arguing that the country needed immediate, practical interventions rather than plans that could take months to implement. He called for stronger policing and preventive measures to protect vulnerable communities.

‎However, the movement’s campaign has attracted controversy, with critics raising concerns about anti-immigrant rhetoric and the potential risks to foreign nationals who may become targets of intimidation or violence.

‎South Africa’s immigration debate remains complex, involving questions about border security, employment, crime, human rights and the government’s responsibility to enforce the law fairly.

‎‎While Zuma and his supporters maintain that their campaign is intended to protect South African citizens, concerns about immigration must be addressed through lawful processes rather than threats or attacks against people based on their nationality.

‎‎The debate continues to place pressure on the government to find practical solutions that uphold the country’s laws while protecting the rights and safety of everyone living in South Africa.
