KwaZulu-Natal premier Thami Ntuli has warned political parties against exploiting Tuesdays planned anti-undocumented migrant marches, saying history would judge leaders who seek to profit from public fears instead of protecting the province from violence.
Addressing the media on Sunday, Ntuli said KwaZulu-Natal was fully prepared for June 30, with police, metro police, municipal law enforcement, disaster management teams and the South African National Defence Force deployed to identified hotspots.
He insisted the province would not allow a repeat of the devastation caused by the July 2021 unrest.
