Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma Fires Back At ActionSA Election Critics: Keep Attacking Us Until 2029

ActionSA leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has responded to criticism of the party’s performance in the 2026 Local Government Elections, using laughter and confidence to defend the organisation against claims that it failed to make a significant impact in major metropolitan areas.

Her response followed a social media post mocking ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba over his media interviews. The post suggested that Mashaba was celebrating as though the party had achieved a major victory in Johannesburg, Tshwane and Durban, despite its election performance.

However, Jacinta pushed back against the criticism, explaining that ActionSA did not contest every ward across the country. She questioned why critics were judging the party’s performance without considering the areas in which it actually fielded candidates.

She also suggested that those constantly attacking ActionSA could unintentionally be helping the party remain relevant in the political conversation.

In a bold response, Jacinta indicated that criticism would not discourage the party as it prepares for future elections.

She ended her message with celebratory emojis, telling her critics to continue attacking ActionSA until 2029.

Her remarks come amid ongoing political debates following the 2026 municipal elections, with parties facing questions about their electoral performance and future political ambitions.

The exchange has added another chapter to the growing political rivalry as ActionSA seeks to strengthen its position in South Africa’s major municipalities ahead of the next national elections.
