The post Jacinta reacted to on Tuesday, 28 July 2026, was originally shared by blog account @PSAFLIVE back on 2 November 2024. It referenced claims by Lebyane that a former partner had arrived in South Africa in the 1990s with fake papers and was subsequently forced out of a job because of the deception. While Lebyane never named the individual, the blog identified the ex in question as Alios Naka, a Zimbabwean who runs businesses in South Africa. Naka has been critical of Ngobese-Zuma's work with the March and March Movement.

"The thing of fraudulently coming into SA goes back. Yesterday I confirmed what I had always suspected abt an ex of mine. In the 90's when they 1st came to SA they had fake papers & was actually forced out of a job cause of this lie. Illegals who are naturalised now."

"Ya but also the thing is I mean I have other exes besides your favourites on this app. So please, fans and minions, get a grip, Haa. Relax, karma has fixed this thing. Otherwise watch me glow tonight as per usual."
