KWAZULU-NATAL — March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has addressed a crowd of supporters during a protest on Moore Road in Durban on 10 September 2026, telling them to cast their ballots in the upcoming 2026 Local Government Elections for political parties that have shown solidarity with the movement.

The address took place on 10 September 2026 at the site where Congolese nationals have been camped since May, following Ngobese-Zuma's earlier calls for undocumented foreign nationals to leave South Africa. Supporters gathered on the residential street dressed in branded "March and March Until We Win" apparel, with many recording the event on their phones and cameras.
