SOUTH AFRICA - The March and March Movement has set 30 September 2026 as the date for its next wave of mass action, calling on the South African government to deport illegal immigrants from the country.

In a formal statement, the organisation described the upcoming protest as a second wave of its 30 June National Day of Action. It urged all heads of state to prepare for what it called a mass deportation of illegal foreigners in South Africa before the September deadline.

Movement vows bigger, stronger protest

The organisation expressed confidence that the September action would surpass the scale of the June 30 protests, which were held at multiple locations across the country.

"The movement is confident and in a structurally better position than it was on June 30 to launch a mother of all national day of action against illegal foreigners in SA," the statement read.

The movement also directed sharp criticism at the South African Police Service, calling on authorities to withdraw a national instruction circular issued in July 2026, which the organisation labelled unconstitutional.
