March And March Leader Responds To Julius Malema’s “Boys” Comment

March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese has sparked reactions on social media after delivering a humorous response to Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema following his remarks about male critics.

The exchange has attracted attention online, with Ngobese using Malema’s own words to deliver a playful comeback that has entertained several social media users.

The interaction began after Malema made a public statement suggesting that he had already said everything necessary and would no longer entertain criticism from his political opponents. During his remarks, the EFF leader referred to some of his male critics as “the boys,” a comment that subsequently became the subject of an online response.

Ngobese quickly seized the opportunity to respond, posting a message that appeared to suggest Malema might be willing to respond differently when challenged by a woman.

In her response, she wrote: “I won’t respond to the boys… kshuthi he will respond to the girl,” accompanied by laughing emojis that highlighted the humorous nature of her message.

Her comment quickly generated engagement, with several social media users expressing amusement at the response and praising her for turning Malema’s statement into an entertaining political exchange.

Others viewed the interaction as another example of how South African political personalities increasingly use social media platforms to challenge one another, communicate their positions, and engage directly with political opponents and supporters.

Ngobese has established herself as an outspoken political figure with an active online presence, regularly sharing opinions and participating in discussions involving prominent political personalities.

The exchange comes amid continued political conversations following the 2026 Local Government Elections, as political leaders and activists remain active across social media platforms.

Although the interaction was brief, Ngobese’s response has provided social media users with an entertaining moment in South Africa’s politically charged environment.

Malema, however, has yet to publicly respond to Ngobese’s latest remarks, leaving the humorous exchange open to further reactions online.
