Jacinta Ngobese Addresses Concerns Over Orlando Pirates vs Sundowns Match

Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, resident and prominent March and March member Jacinta Ngobese has denied any involvement in the alleged looting and criminal events.

Ngobese referred to television footage depicting what she characterized as two distinct situations in a statement she published on X. Police had a heavy presence near Moore Road as March and March members gathered there, despite reports of looting and disorder in another area.

She insisted that the organization should not be held accountable for events unconnected to the protests and that the movement had warned its adherents not to engage in criminal behavior.

According to Ngobese, she had already dealt with the matter prior to the start of the march, making it very clear that participants could not engage in illegal activities. She further brought up the movement’s 21-month protest history, asserting that it had coordinated hundreds of demonstrations while steadfastly opposing criminal behavior.

Tensions are rising in Durban, where reports of looting and protests have prompted the police to step up their presence, at the same time that her remarks are being made. The incident has prompted discussions regarding the proper way to identify and hold various groups responsible for their activities within the city.

The next day, Ngobese also responded to worries that Moses Mabhida Stadium might be closed. She stated that football fans should be able to go to the game while the demonstrators take their issues to the right people.

She encouraged people to keep protests and sporting events separate in her post and denied that the stadium would be closed.It seems like she was trying to reassure the movement’s backers that they shouldn’t be worried about the movement’s involvement with the reported criminal incidents or its disruption of the football event.

But the movement’s stance is mirrored in Ngobese’s remarks. The situation surrounding the alleged looting and the connection, if any, between the individuals involved and the protests must be determined using independent information gathered from the appropriate authorities.

The developments underscore the difficulty that Durban authorities have in balancing the need to keep the public safe with the right to lawfully demonstrate and engage in other public activities.

Instead of being held responsible for criminal activity that it claims is unconnected to the organization, Ngobese argues that March and March should be judged based on its own deeds.
