KWAZULU-NATAL - Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma publicly attacked an unnamed political party, accusing its members of neglecting voter outreach while obsessively tracking her every move, with elections just months away.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ngobese-Zuma directed her criticism at a party whose members, she said, speak almost exclusively about March and March rather than engaging communities.
"There’s a political party that hasn’t started campaigning at all, yet elections are in two months. All their members ever talk about is March and March."

She went further, suggesting the party's silence on its own policies was not accidental, saying that no one would listen to them unless they were speaking about March and March.
Social media users divided over Ngobese-Zuma's post

"They know that without your name they are nothing. Don't mind them; we will meet them at the polls."
@Proffessorq0n pushed back, saying:
"Don't lie to yourself. We are coming stronger every day. We don't even know kuth wena you exist in our book."
@DrSo46245 added:
"They have no money to campaign. General Mkhwanazi is closing their drug labs daily. Their giraffes are being fired. They are stressed."
@linda_ngondo predicted a dramatic drop in support:
"From 9%, they are going down to 1%."
@llutladi offered a contrasting view:
"There's nothing special about you, sesi. Insulting police officers for doing their jobs is not leadership but pure insanity."
@KganediLes said the party's attention remained elsewhere:
"We're still dealing with the arrogance of the ANC and Cyril Ramaphosa in the Western Cape High Court whilst putting a hawk's eye on the ANC branch (IEC). You're nothing to us."
