South African women are calling on activist Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma to take up their cause, with content creator Kamo Bombe leading the charge. On 16 September 2026, South African television presenter and entrepreneur Kamohelo ‘Kamo’ Bombe published an emotional open letter on Instagram addressed directly to the founder of the March and March movement, pleading for her to stand with women during one of the country's darkest periods.
The appeal arrived against the backdrop of a growing crisis in Gauteng, where police have been investigating the deaths of multiple women found dead under similar circumstances across the province since July 2026. The recurring pattern has sent shockwaves through communities and reignited urgent conversations about gender-based violence and femicide in South Africa.
"Dear Mrs Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, South African women need your voice. Please stand with us. Please help us make South Africa listen," Kamo wrote, tagging Jacinta directly in the post.
Jacinta answers the call
The activist did not leave the plea unanswered. Responding in the comments, Jacinta wrote: "Sis, we will fight for our country against a cruel system that doesn't even recognise us at all… God is with us, no matter what they call us! We will fight, and we will win."

"I hope the women who were insulting our sister Jacinta for standing up for this country will come to realise now that she's the real one because no one cares about what women go through in this country. Instead of rallying behind her, they were busy insulting her and calling her all sorts of names, and now we are alone, with the president or any political party not giving a fvck what's happening... I hope this is a lesson to women of this country that no one is here to save you, but only yourself and the unity of other women will bring change."
@emozaofficial said:
"Has this reached her? Let me make sure! We at war!!!"
@mpepele_rose shared:
"Jacinta woke up and became the change she wanted to see."
@sheila__betty addressed Jacinta directly:
"@jacintangobese you're God sent, keep on doing the LORD's work, may the greatness of GOD rest upon your life and live long."
