March and March Movement vs Ramaphosa: Stunning Allegation Fuels Political Tensions in South Africa

The March and March Movement has raised alarm over the safety of its leaders amid growing political tensions in South Africa, alleging that President Cyril Ramaphosa wants to kill members of its leadership. The serious accusation has intensified concerns about the strained relationship between the anti-illegal immigration organisation and the government.

However, no independently verified evidence has been provided to support the claim that Ramaphosa intends to harm or kill the movement’s leaders. The allegation remains unproven.

Led by Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, March and March has gained public attention through demonstrations calling for tighter border controls, stricter enforcement of immigration laws and greater protection of the interests of South African citizens.

The movement has also accused the authorities of trying to intimidate its leadership because of its outspoken stance on undocumented immigration and its continued public protests.

On 14 October 2026, the organisation claimed that arrest warrants had been issued for Ngobese-Zuma and Xolani Zuma, the acting chief executive officer of the SA First Forum. According to the movement, the alleged arrests were politically motivated and connected to its mobilisation efforts ahead of the local government elections.

However, both the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and the South African Police Service (SAPS) disputed the claims. The NPA denied that arrest warrants had been issued against the two individuals, while the police said there was no record of a case against them. Their responses contradicted the movement’s assertions about possible arrests.

The latest accusation against Ramaphosa comes amid increasing distrust between the organisation and the government. March and March has consistently criticised the authorities for what it considers insufficient action against undocumented immigration.

Supporters of the movement maintain that stronger immigration enforcement is necessary to protect job opportunities for South Africans, improve border security and ensure that the country’s immigration laws are upheld.

The government, on the other hand, has stressed that public demonstrations must be conducted peacefully and that immigration regulations must be enforced in accordance with the law.

Ramaphosa has previously cautioned that the constitutional right to protest does not permit anyone to threaten others, intimidate people or engage in violence. His comments came amid demonstrations over undocumented immigration and concerns about potential attacks on foreign nationals.

The latest allegation is particularly serious because it raises questions about the safety of political activists and the conduct of the country’s highest political office.

Should the movement possess credible evidence of threats against its leaders, the relevant authorities would need to investigate the claims and determine whether any wrongdoing has occurred.

Nevertheless, the accusation against the President cannot be accepted as fact without reliable evidence to substantiate it.

As South Africa moves closer to another period of intense political campaigning, the dispute highlights the growing divide between immigration activists and the government.

For now, it remains uncertain whether March and March will provide evidence to support its allegation against Ramaphosa. Until credible information emerges, the claim remains unverified.
