WATCH: March and March Leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma Arrives at Durban Police Station Over Alleged Incitement Charge

Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, the leader and founder of the March and March movement, arrived at Point Police Station in Durban on Tuesday, where she is expected to hand herself over following an apparent charge of inciting public violence brought against her.

According to her husband, Xolani Zuma, there was speculation that a case was opened against Ngobese-Zuma by a police officer. Zuma told the Daily News that this information had not yet been formally confirmed by the South African Police Service (SAPS).

The case in question was linked to protest action undertaken by her lobby group last week at Addington Primary School, after approximately 66 South African learners were not granted admission to the institution.

Upon her arrival at the police station, Ngobese-Zuma was met with loud cheers from supporters who had gathered to show solidarity. A heavy police presence was visible in anticipation of her surrender.

Ngobese-Zuma and her organisation have gained a reputation for vigorous campaigns aimed at prioritising the needs of South African citizens.

While March and March has faced criticism in some quarters over its recent actions at Addington Primary School, the movement has also received support from certain civic organisations that share the view that the school was allegedly favouring foreign learners over local children.

March and March maintains that the overwhelming majority of pupils at the school are foreign nationals.

The demonstrations at Addington Primary School began when schools reopened on January 12. Activist group Operation Dudula also made its presence felt at the school alongside March and March.

This is a developing story.
