A Zimbabwean content creator who goes by @Am_Blujay on X has stirred up Mzansi after posting a video directed at Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, the founder of the March and March movement, telling her to find a job.

The selfie-style clip, filmed outdoors near parked cars and palm trees somewhere in South Africa, shows the blogger speaking directly into the camera in a candid, conversational tone. He wears no movement merch, but the message is clear. His comments took aim at Ngobese-Zuma, who has become one of the most recognisable faces of South Africa's anti-illegal immigration campaign.

Mzansi fires back at the Zimbabwean blogger

The post landed hard with South Africans, many of whom rushed to defend Ngobese-Zuma. Several commenters turned the criticism back on the blogger himself, pointing out that he was a foreign national weighing in on South African civic life.

Watch the video that sparked the backlash below:

@DjDukesta pushed back on the job comment, writing: "I don't think she needs a job. If you knew her background, you would know that she did what she did for the love of her country. Something you are definitely not familiar with; you can actually learn from her."

@NguNdabezitha was equally dismissive of the creator's credibility, saying: "Says someone who ran away from his country's duties and is hiding in diaspora."

@DONNYZ12 took a more satirical angle, suggesting: "Some people still want her to come back on social media, we tired of this thing. IEC must employ her to look at the voting station to spot foreigners voting for ANC."

Not everyone rallied behind Jacinta, though. @Projectveritas0 sided with the blogger's criticism, writing: "She is unemployable this one and will try to hang onto this nonsense to continue putting food on the table."

The debate reflects just how charged the conversation around illegal immigration and activism remains in South Africa, with the March and March movement continuing to sit at the centre of it all.
