Anti-Immigration Activist Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma Denies Nigerian Heartbreak Rumours on Dash TV

• Anti-immigration activist Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma appeared on Dash TV's Hall of Fame to deny viral claims that a Nigerian ex-partner motivated her campaign
• Ngobese-Zuma identified the woman in the circulated TikTok video as user Refilwe Jawa, stating she had never dated a Nigerian national
• The segment aired amid heightened national debate following the unofficial June 30 deportation deadline set by civic groups

Durban-based anti-immigration activist Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma publicly dismissed viral allegations that her civic campaign against undocumented foreign nationals stems from a personal falling-out with a Nigerian partner, addressing the rumours in a composed televised interview on Dash TV's talk show Hall of Fame, hosted by Darling Lyonga.

The segment, titled South Africa's Immigration Crisis: The Aftermath of the June 30th Deportation Deadline, aired following the controversial unofficial deadline set by civic groups demanding that undocumented foreign nationals leave South Africa. The government rejected the deadline and deployed joint law enforcement operations to prevent vigilantism and xenophobic violence.

Ngobese-Zuma sets the record straight

Ngobese-Zuma told Lyonga that the TikTok video being shared online to damage her reputation does not feature her at all. She identified the woman in the clip as a TikTok user named Refilwe Jawa, who had spoken favourably about Nigerian men in the video. Ngobese-Zuma stated clearly that she has never been in a relationship with a Nigerian national, adding that she is happily married and has no interest in pursuing any other relationship. She described the allegations as a deliberate smear campaign aimed at discrediting her public stance on immigration.

Lyonga acknowledged the visual differences between Ngobese-Zuma and the individual in the video, confirming on air that the clip had been wrongly attributed to the activist.

Ngobese-Zuma's composed demeanour during the interview drew significant attention on social media after the clip was shared on X by @Judaeda3.
