Jacinta Responds After Social Media User Makes Allegations About SthembiD’s SA Documents

March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has responded to a social media post targeting a woman identified as SthembiD, following allegations about how she obtained her South African identity documents.

The post questioned the woman’s citizenship status, claiming that she was not born in South Africa and that both her parents originated from Zimbabwe.

The social media user called on others to question how she acquired her documents and also tagged financial services company Sanlam, asking the organisation to explain how it came to employ her.

The post went further by alleging that the woman had purchased her South African identity document for R5,000. However, no evidence was provided in the statement to substantiate the allegation.

The comments attracted attention after Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma joined the discussion with a brief response directed at the woman who made the post.

Reacting to the claims, Ngobese-Zuma suggested that the allegations could explain why the woman was frequently criticising her.

“No wonder ke uGirl is always on my case‼️‼️🤦‍♀️,” she commented.

Her response appeared to link the criticism she receives from the social media user to the allegations raised in the post.

The exchange comes amid ongoing public debates about immigration, citizenship documentation and the employment of foreign nationals in South Africa. March and March has been particularly vocal on issues involving immigration enforcement and the country’s citizenship and documentation processes.

The latest exchange has brought those issues into another social media discussion, with Sanlam also being mentioned in the original post.

However, the claims concerning SthembiD’s birthplace, family background and alleged purchase of an identity document remain unverified. No official confirmation from the Department of Home Affairs or response from Sanlam was included in the material.

The allegations should therefore not be treated as established facts unless supported by official records or further evidence.
