DURBAN – One of the anti-migration protest leaders and former radio personality Ngizwe Mchunu came under fire for trying to influence anti-immigration activists to stop protesting, as they were denting the image of the country and the economy.
Mchunu recently announced he was no longer interested in participating in these kinds of protests and urged other leaders, such as March and March’s Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma and Nkosikhona Ndabandaba, to do the same.
He said the demonstrations have taken a long time and pose a danger of collapsing the economy.
In a short video clip posted on TikTok, commenting on the March and March action across the country on June 30, he said: “We are happy about the outcome of the protests. We did not achieve all that we wanted, but it was not meant to destroy the country.
“Much as we did not achieve all we wanted, we will not be marching forever. I speak this as a senior who knows how to be imprisoned. My fellow activists, Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma and Nkosikhona Ndabandaba, they don’t know what it is like to be arrested and they are juniors to me.”
