Anti-illegal foreigners movement mourns slain DJ

March-And-March members picket outside Durban City Hall in a candlelit vigil demanding justice for slain activist DJ Warras.

AMIDST a heavy police presence, hundreds of March-And-March members and community members picketed outside the City Hall today (Friday, January 19).

True to their cause of fighting illegal immigration, they remembered one of their own, Warrick Stock, popularly known as DJ Warras.

Donned in black with lit candles and flowers, the crowd sang in unison, demanding justice for DJ Warras and all the departed who were killed fighting against illegal foreigners.

March-And-March frontwoman Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma urged men to lead the fight against illegal immigrants.

“We always see women at the marches. Where are our men. Historically men fought wars, and won. This is war. This is fire, we cannot fight alone as women.

“To our political leaders, we need you. We ask you to play an active role, and do justice to your voters. The government is constantly ignoring our pleas while the country is being hijacked,” Ngobese-Zuma said.

She said their next move is to make a bold statement during an ANC January 8 event, although the plans have not been solidified.

Action SA president Herman Mashaba made an appearance in support of the picket. He has been vocal about injustices brought about by illegal foreigners.

“This is a cancer. We can choose to fight it or let it kill us. I’ve committed my life to fight this. We must fight not only for us but our children and grandchildren. This fight is for a better South Africa. We must adopt a new culture, mobilise and bring about change,” he said.

“Where are we gonna go, we feel like foreigners in our own country, they must go. We suffer to place our children in schools, we battle unemployment, because of illegal foreigners occupying every space which is rightfully ours. They are flourishing  in their drug businesses. We can no longer stay silent, even if it means we face death,” marchers chanted.
