March and March said the move followed an internal process and that further investigations would take place. The organisation alleged that there had been attempts to interfere with its work, although the details remain subject to the outcome of those investigations.
Social media divided over the announcement
Following the news, reactions across social media platforms reflected a range of opinions. Some users questioned the future direction of the movement without Mchunu, while others debated the controversies surrounding his involvement in public campaigns.
“Ngizwe is bigger than March and March,” said one internet user.
Envisioning what the near future may possibly look like, another commented, “Ngizwe will be on a smear campaign against March and March.”
“There is an element of MKP party, yes we have a big problem of foreigners in our country which must be dealt with but the minute they involved political parties, I knew it won’t serve the purpose but rather destabilise the country,” said one more.
Mchunu, who is known for his outspoken views and previous involvement in public protests, responded to the suspension by saying that “we can’t march forever” while addressing the latest developments.
