A landlord from KwaKhutha is reportedly asking for assistance after her foreign tenant was forced to leave the property following an intervention by members of the March and March Movement.

According to the video, the woman says she is currently unemployed and had been relying on the monthly rental income from her foreign shop tenant to support herself and meet her basic needs.

She claims that after agreeing with March and March members to have the tenant removed, she lost an important source of income. She now says she is struggling financially and has appealed to the same members for help with her basic necessities.

The incident highlights the complicated economic realities surrounding disputes involving foreign-owned or foreign-operated businesses. While concerns about immigration and compliance with South African laws remain part of public debate, individual landlords and property owners can also face financial consequences when tenants are removed.

The claims in the video have not independently established all the circumstances surrounding the tenant’s departure. Any dispute involving eviction, tenancy rights or immigration status should be handled in accordance with South African law and through the appropriate authorities.

Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema has called for pensioners to receive a monthly grant of R4,500, arguing that many elderly South Africans play a crucial role in supporting their families.

Malema made the remarks during the launch of the EFF’s provincial manifesto in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, where scores of party supporters gathered for the event.

According to Malema, many pensioners are not only dependent on social grants themselves but also contribute significantly to the financial well-being of their families. He argued that increasing the monthly support would help elderly people meet their basic needs while easing the financial pressure on households that rely on them.

The proposal forms part of the EFF’s broader political messaging around social welfare, poverty reduction and economic support for vulnerable South Africans.

The call is likely to generate debate about the affordability and sustainability of increasing social grants, as well as the government’s broader responsibility to support pensioners and low-income households.

EFF leader Julius Malema has called on South Africans to use their votes to remove the ANC from government, accusing the governing party of failing to adequately address poverty, corruption and the country’s broader socio-economic challenges.

Malema argued that voters have the power to bring about political change through the ballot box. His remarks reflect the EFF’s long-standing criticism of the ANC’s record in government and its handling of South Africa’s economic and social problems.

The EFF leader’s comments come as political parties continue to position themselves ahead of future elections, with issues such as unemployment, poverty, corruption, service delivery and economic inequality remaining major concerns for many South Africans.

Malema’s message is ultimately a call for voters to use their democratic power to decide which political parties should govern the country.

SA First Forum Gives eThekwini 14 Days to Act on Che Guevara Road Concerns

SA First Forum, described as the legal wing of the March and March Movement, has called on the eThekwini Municipality to urgently intervene over concerns surrounding homelessness, alleged drug activity, hijacked buildings and the presence of foreign nationals along Che Guevara Road in Durban.

In a letter dated 4 September 2026, the forum called on City Manager and Mayor Cyril Xaba to take action and demanded that municipal bylaws be enforced within 14 days.

Among its demands, the forum wants authorities to address the presence of foreign nationals in the area and, where legally applicable, engage the governments of their countries of origin regarding repatriation. The forum also acknowledged that foreign nationals, regardless of their immigration status, remain entitled to have their human rights protected.

The organisation further called for genuine refugees to be accommodated through appropriate refugee facilities, while proposing shelters and rehabilitation centres for homeless South Africans. It suggested a multidisciplinary response involving eThekwini Municipality, the Departments of Health, Human Settlements and Social Development, as well as SAPS.

SA First Forum also claimed that 27 buildings in Durban’s CBD are currently hijacked and called for cooperation between the municipality and property owners to reclaim the buildings within six months. It additionally urged SAPS to investigate alleged drug networks affecting homeless people and take action against suspected dealers.

The forum has requested a meeting with the City Manager within seven days. It warned that if the matter is not adequately addressed, it may consider approaching the High Court.

The demands come amid continuing debate in Durban over homelessness, illegal occupation, crime, immigration enforcement and the need to protect the rights of both South African citizens and foreign nationals.

Nhlanhla “Lux” Mohlauli has reiterated his position on immigration, saying his opposition has always been directed at undocumented foreign nationals, rather than foreigners who are legally residing in South Africa.

Lux said he has maintained the same position for years and has never changed his stance. He argued that immigration enforcement should focus on people who do not have the required legal documentation to remain or work in the country.

He also said that documented foreign nationals should be protected from what he described as “hooliganism” and intimidation. His comments come amid ongoing tensions surrounding immigration, employment and the presence of foreign nationals in South Africa.

Lux’s remarks highlight an important distinction in the debate: concerns about illegal immigration and law enforcement should not automatically be directed at all foreign nationals, particularly those who are legally documented and contributing to South African society.

The issue remains highly sensitive, with calls from different groups for stronger immigration enforcement while others warn against discrimination, violence and collective blame.

Phakel'umthakathi has called for stronger leadership and greater responsibility across African countries, arguing that true African unity cannot be achieved if individual states continue to struggle with dysfunction and unresolved internal problems.

He urged African men to take responsibility for addressing the challenges facing their respective countries, stressing that people should not be paralysed by fear when standing up for what they believe is right.

His message focused on courage, responsibility and the need for Africans to confront problems within their own countries before meaningful continental unity can be achieved.

He also argued that standing up for what is right requires determination and a willingness to face difficult circumstances.

The remarks are likely to fuel further discussion about African unity, leadership, governance and the responsibilities of citizens in addressing challenges within their communities and countries.

A March and March member has accused police of failing to act after a foreign national allegedly discharged a firearm and threatened members of the movement during a cleanup operation.

According to the member, the group reported the alleged firearm incident to police, but officers allegedly failed to apprehend the individual. Instead, the protesters claim police prevented them from proceeding with the planned cleanup operation.

The member expressed strong frustration over the police response, saying: “If the police want to kill us, then they must do so.”

The allegations have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether anyone was arrested in connection with the alleged firearm incident. The claims are likely to fuel further debate over police conduct, public safety and tensions surrounding immigration and community-led cleanup operations.

Police in Secunda, Mpumalanga, are reportedly arresting one of their own as part of a major takedown operation targeting suspects allegedly linked to the hijacking of diesel trucks in the province.

The officer was reportedly arrested as he arrived for duty this morning, adding a dramatic development to the ongoing investigation.

The operation is targeting individuals suspected of being involved in organised criminal activities surrounding diesel truck hijackings. The arrest of a serving police officer could raise serious questions about possible links between law enforcement and criminal networks.

Newzroom Afrika’s Nqobile Madlala is on the ground in Secunda, where further details about the operation and the allegations against the suspects are expected to emerge.

Authorities have yet to provide full details of the charges and the extent of the alleged network.

Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has criticised the police response during a March and March demonstration, questioning why officers used rubber bullets to disperse protesters.

Ngobese-Zuma claims that members of March and March spotted Congolese nationals who were allegedly carrying fi****ms during the march. According to her, police were alerted to the alleged presence of weapons but did not arrest those individuals.

Instead, she claims, officers used rubber bullets to disperse the protesters.

The allegations have raised questions about police conduct, public safety and how law enforcement responds when fi****ms are allegedly spotted during public demonstrations. However, the claims about fi****ms and the police response have not been independently verified.

The incident comes amid ongoing tensions surrounding immigration, undocumented foreign nationals and public demonstrations in South Africa. Calls for accountability and a clear explanation from authorities are likely to continue as questions remain over what happened during the confrontation.

South African activist Nhlanhla Lux has once again sparked debate with his firm stance on truth, legality, and African solidarity. In a recent address, he argued that public life should not be driven by popularity, personal loyalty, or political pressure, but by honesty and respect for the law.

Lux rejected claims that supporting Africans or defending documented African migrants makes someone “captured” by a particular group. Instead, he maintained that standing for what is right should never be viewed as a weakness. According to his message, people should be free to support lawful and documented residents without fear of intimidation or political labeling.

A central theme of his remarks was the importance of truth over public approval. He emphasized that he is not interested in being seen as a hero or a villain, but rather in remaining committed to facts and principles. This approach challenges a growing trend in which individuals are often judged based on political affiliations instead of the substance of their arguments.

The speech also highlighted concerns about extremist narratives that seek to divide communities through fear, misinformation, and hostility. Extremism, regardless of where it comes from, can weaken social cohesion and distract from real issues such as economic development, public safety, and accountable governance. Constructive debate is essential in a democracy, but it must be grounded in facts, mutual respect, and the rule of law.

Lux’s comments reflect a broader conversation taking place across South Africa about identity, migration, community representation, and national unity. While opinions on his views remain divided, his call for honesty and lawful engagement has resonated with many who believe that difficult issues should be addressed through dialogue rather than division.

At a time when political tensions often dominate public discourse, the challenge for South Africans is to reject extremism and embrace a culture where truth, accountability, and lawful conduct remain at the center of national debate.
