March and March lawyer Xolani Zuma has alleged that certain leaders are plotting to kill members of the movement, claiming that they have already identified the individuals allegedly involved.
Speaking after Friday’s Durban High Court proceedings, Zuma also gave his account of the arguments presented by the police in their application seeking to restrict the movement’s demonstrations across eThekwini.
He said the police argued that they were concerned that demonstrations led by Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma could disrupt the upcoming elections.
According to Zuma, police also raised concerns about a shortage of resources, arguing that they did not have sufficient capacity to manage the protests.
Zuma described this as an indication that the police were struggling to deal with the demonstrations.
He further explained that the court had ordered March and March to suspend its marches from Friday until 6 November 2026, after which demonstrations would be permitted under specific conditions.
The court also imposed restrictions on marching times, designated routes and the conduct of participants.
Zuma’s claims about an alleged plot to kill members of the movement have not been independently verified.
