Poet, activist and mayoral candidate Ntsiki Mazwai has added her voice to the growing conversation around Ngizwe Mchunu's explosive allegations against anti-illegal immigration organiser Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma and the March and March movement.
On Friday, 28 August 2026, Mazwai reposted a post on X that detailed Ngizwe's claims, responding with just four words:
"He even mentioned Israel 😢"
What did Ngizwe Mchunu allegedly say?
According to the reposted content from user @Patrici47761869, Ngizwe reportedly claimed that Jacinta received funding from both local and international sources. He also allegedly stated that he and fellow activist Phakelumthakathi had been used by Jacinta to bolster her organisation, describing himself and Phakela as pawns in a larger operation.

Mzansi weighs in on Ntsiki Mazwai's reaction
The post drew sharp and divided reactions from South Africans online:
@WaAzania263891 suggested Ngizwe's behaviour stems from personal turmoil:
"I think this Ngizwe will or can be mentally fine if Ukhozi FM can rehire him. Since he lost his job there, he's been behaving weirdly."
@ibabazi appeared unsurprised, writing:
"We told them it's Betway money."
@ArabianQ pushed back against the wave of criticism directed at Jacinta:
"You believe everything negative said about Jacinta?"
@jeanbloem7 called for evidence before taking sides:
"Proof will be nice for a change....... Allegations just don't cut it anymore."
@TikiBoy_SA directly challenged Mazwai's stance:
"You're an intelligent woman, Mayor; you seriously cannot believe this, come on!"
