The comedian responded to a user who mentioned South Africa as one of their dream countries they wish to visit in the future.

"I think everyone, if they can ever afford it, should visit South Africa," he said.

This made many people flood his comments section with mixed reactions. One of which came from Jacinta, who reinforced her ideologies of illegal migration and people overstaying their welcome.

SA responds to Jacinta's remarks

Reacting to Steve's post, many people seem to be divided, with some supporting Zuma's response, while others reckon the country is dealing with a lot.

Reacting to Steve's post, @mokgethi_lenosh said:

"We welcome everyone here, Steve... As someone who has been here, you know. But our African brothers don't want to leave after visiting; they want to stay illegally. That's like having an uninvited guests who want to call all the shots on how you run your house."

Slamming Jacinta was user @Mzansiawake, who said Jacinta was wrong for the way she responded to Steve:

"Jacinta Ngobes recently told Steve Harvey he is not welcome in South Africa, accusing him of “invading” the country and telling him to go back, citing his public stance against foreigners. Xenophobia isn’t just hate. It’s displaced grief. Most people who say “go back to your country” aren’t political analysts. They’re people who feel the country they were promised never arrived. Jacinta’s threat is ugly, but it’s also a symptom. You can arrest the person, but you won’t arrest the condition that produced her."

While the original poster labelled Jacinta a "blonde," Ntsiki took a different jab, accusing her of using "good English" and a specific vocal tone to manipulate her followers. Hitting back at Ntsiki, Jacinta accused Ntsiki, who then responded with a legal threat.
