The husband of March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has confirmed that a criminal case has been opened against her.
Xolani Zuma’s confirmation follows the group’s announcement that Ngobese-Zuma would hand herself over to police in Durban. The case relates to a charge of incitement to commit violence stemming from protests held outside Addington Primary School.
The protest group has accused the school of prioritising children of foreign nationals when allocating placements, a claim that has sparked public controversy and prompted police involvement.
Supporters of March and March have since gathered outside the Point Police Station, where Ngobese-Zuma is expected to present herself to authorities.
Police have not yet commented on the specifics of the charge, while investigations into the protest-related incident continue.
