March and March leaders expected in Durban High Court over protest interdict

March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, her husband and lawyer Xolani Zuma, and other respondents are expected to appear before the Durban High Court on Friday morning.

The respondents are expected to show cause why an interim interdict obtained by Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia and KwaZulu-Natal acting Police Commissioner Major General Phumelele Makoba should not be confirmed.

The interim order restricts March and March from organising or participating in marches, processions and protest convoys within the eThekwini municipal area, including parts of the Durban CBD and the area surrounding the Department of Home Affairs Refugee Reception Centre on Che Guevara Road.

It also prohibits conduct including intimidation, assault, looting, arson and damage to property.

The court is expected to hear arguments from the parties before deciding whether to make the interim order final.
