Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma shares message to SA women dating foreigners

She took a swipe at certain South African women who are desperate for marriage to the point of dating foreigners and taking care of them financially.

“Let me tell you about, I don't mean to speak badly about my sister's name, but the love of marriage within our sisters is one of the problems that we have. South African women, not all of them, of course, would do anything for marriage. You hear them being scammed by a Nigerian who said, 'Go and take your thingy, your savings, your pension.' Like, why would you be like, wow, like in your head, why would you go and take out your pension and give it to a man?” she said.

The post gained traction and sparked a flurry of reactions. While some criticised Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma for speaking from a place of privilege as a married woman, others agreed with her.

Here are some of the comments:

@MickyMthethwa stated:

“I hear you, but isn’t she being a hypocrite because she’s married and we don’t know to what extent she goes for her husband 🤧 she could’ve paid for her own lobola 🤷🏽‍♀️”

@geniuswacho argued:

“The issue isn't marriage but fear-driven / personality-driven obsession with marriage. The same thing happens to African men, too, just in different formations.”

@PostiveImpact89 suggested:

“They take out the pension because they are promised more money. They just love money. Stupidly so.”

@Vee_Nongoloza argued:

“They want a wedding, not marriage.”
