Last updated: 7 September 2026
SA First Forum is preparing to march to Moore Road in Durban on Thursday, 10 September 2026, with the organisation demanding answers from the eThekwini Municipality over people who have allegedly been living on the streets in the area for several months.
The planned demonstration comes amid growing complaints from residents and businesses in the Moore Road area, with SA First Forum questioning why municipal authorities have allegedly failed to resolve the situation.
The organisation says it has formally written to the municipality ahead of the march and is demanding clarity on what action has been taken.
Why is SA First Forum marching to Moore Road?
According to SA First Forum, people have been living on the streets around Moore Road for approximately three months.
The organisation says the situation has become a concern for the surrounding community and businesses operating in the area.
In its announcement, SA First Forum questioned why municipal laws and by-laws were allegedly not being enforced despite complaints from people living and working in the area.
The organisation is now calling on the eThekwini Municipality to provide answers.
Moore Road businesses and residents raise concerns
The Moore Road dispute has increasingly become a point of tension in Durban.
SA First Forum says businesses in the area are suffering and that members of the surrounding community have raised complaints about the situation.
The organisation believes the municipality needs to explain what measures have been taken and what its plans are for dealing with the issue.
However, claims made by the organisation about the municipality’s actions and the impact on businesses remain allegations and should be distinguished from independently verified facts.
March set for Thursday, 10 September
The planned SA First Forum demonstration is scheduled for Thursday, 10 September 2026.
The organisation says the march is intended to put pressure on the municipality to respond to its concerns.
Its letter to the municipality reportedly seeks answers about why the situation has continued and what authorities intend to do about it.
