South African DJ and music producer Nkazimulo Ngema, formerly known as TNS, broke his silence to address the highly publicised anti-illegal immigration marches that have swept across the country.
Taking to his Facebook page on 30 June 2026, the official day of the March and March protests, the Club Controller singer expressed his unwavering support for the demonstrations, emphasising that he stood firmly against illegal immigration.
"Fully Behind iChunu eGoli #MarchAndMarch South Africa for South Africans We stand against Illegal immigration!"
The singer's message arrived as tensions reached a boiling point across the country, seeing protesters gathering in several areas, including Limpopo, Durban and Mpumalanga, to demand stricter border controls, the mass deportation of undocumented foreign nationals, and the prioritisation of local citizens for economic opportunities.

His post, which garnered thousands of impressions, was accompanied by a photo taken during a march, where hundreds of protesters gathered and completely blocked the street as they made their message clear.
South African social media users gathered in the comment section to praise TNS for his patriotism, especially at a time when many local celebrities are choosing silence over speaking out. However, his message was not without criticism.
Followers from other African countries wasted no time in slamming the singer and accusing him of rejecting his African supporters. Several users warned TNS that speaking on the ongoing protests and even standing in its support would have dire consequences on his career.
