Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, leader of the March and March movement, addresses speculation about her political ambitions and clarifies her stance on potential affiliations with ActionSA and other parties.
Questions over whether March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma could join ActionSA and emerge as the party’s eThekwini mayoral candidate have intensified online in recent weeks, with some social media users drawing parallels between her and Xolani Khumalo.
The speculation follows Khumalo’s own political move into ActionSA after rising to prominence through the anti-drug television show Sizok'thola. Critics and supporters alike have questioned whether Ngobese-Zuma’s growing public profile and activism could lead to a similar political trajectory.
The local government elections will be held in November and political parties have been announcing their mayoral candidates for municipalities in recent weeks.
Speaking during a media briefing on Monday night, Ngobese-Zuma dismissed claims that March and March was created as a vehicle for political ambitions or that she was aligned to any specific political formation.
