Police dispersed Operation Dudula protesters with tear gas and pepper spray after demonstrators attempted to breach security zones near the G20 summit venue in Johannesburg. National leader Zandile Dabula criticized authorities for deploying aggressive tactics against citizens while failing to show similar resolve against criminals, referencing ongoing judicial corruption investigations. Officers arrested two men for assaulting a law enforcement member who required medical treatment during the confrontation.
The anti-immigration group organized the demonstration to spotlight domestic concerns such as unemployment, inadequate public services, and undocumented migration. Authorities charged Operation Dudula with inciting violence and violating court restrictions after protesters left their designated protest area at Nasrec and Rifle Range Roads. Dabula sustained pepper spray injuries but pledged continued activism.
The uMkhonto weSizwe Party joined the demonstration, which occurred while world leaders discussed climate policy and debt reduction inside the Nasrec Expo Centre. Security personnel maintained the summit perimeter despite the disturbance outside.
