Nomvalo spoke to Newzroom Afrika on 10 June 2026. He said the party sympathises with March and March's objectives and rejected the labels the government gives it. He added that March and March is fighting a genuine fight. Nomvalo pointed out that everyone in the country is affected by illegal immigration.
“They're fighting against things which are affecting our people everyday on the ground. The issue of illegal immigration affects all of us because if you are an illegal immigrant, you have broken the law. It means you are here unlawfully,” he said.
Nomvalo compared the government's approach to March and March to a group of citizens fighting an individual who is arresting a car thief caught in the act.
