SA Police Ban Traditional Weapons Ahead of June 30 Anti-Immigration Rally
South African police have warned protesters not to carry any weapons, including traditional arms, during the June 30 marches against illegal immigration. SAPS management confirmed its readiness after activist groups set that date as a deadline for undocumented foreigners to leave. NatJoints chairperson Tebello Mosikili said officers would act swiftly against anyone found with weapons, stressing that demonstrations must remain peaceful and safe. Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia revealed the operation will cost over R600 million and vowed law enforcement will not tolerate criminal acts or incitement to violence. Social media responses have been mixed, with some backing the ban and others warning it could stifle legitimate protest.
