POLICE SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE ALLEGED WARRANT OF ARREST

*DURBAN: 15 October 2026* - Police in KwaZulu-Natal hereby dismiss rumours, allegations or pronouncement that a warrant of arrest was issued for the arrest of March and March and South Africa First Forum leaders.

Police do not react or respond to baseless allegations such as this one, however the situation on the ground and the potential of such allegations to cause panic on some residents, police would like to set the record straight and dismiss rumours of any warrant of arrest issued against the two individuals. As a matter of fact, police do not have a trace of any case registered against the two.

Police wish to encourage activists to be responsible leaders and refrain from making statements that can be considered as malicious, reckless and have a potential to incite violence. If a person suspects that there is a warrant of arrest issued against them, concerned parties must contact the police to verify so that they communicate facts.

No amount of public statements will derail police from enforcing the law. Police do not engage in a witch hunt and do not target anyone. Those who wish to disclose a warrant of arrest issued against them are advised to quote the type of charge they are facing so that the public they are communicating to do not speculate and live in uncertainty.
