Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma Warns March And March Supporters Ahead Of November 4 Elections

March and March Movement leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has urged her supporters to turn out in large numbers for South Africa’s November 4, 2026, Local Government Elections, warning that staying away from the polls could allow politicians she accuses of wrongdoing to return to power.

Ngobese-Zuma made the appeal to supporters of the movement, emphasising that their participation in the municipal elections could influence the political leadership responsible for governing their communities.

“The thieves will come back,” she warned, arguing that supporters who choose not to vote could unintentionally create an opportunity for the return of leaders they oppose.

Her message places voter turnout at the centre of the movement’s activities as South Africa prepares to elect local representatives. The elections will determine the composition of municipal councils, which play an important role in local services and community development.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced November 4 as the election date, urging registered voters to participate in the democratic process. The date has since become a focal point for political parties and organisations seeking to mobilise supporters ahead of the polls.

Ngobese-Zuma’s appeal reflects her effort to encourage March and March supporters to move beyond public demonstrations and make their voices heard through voting. She wants them to support candidates they consider suitable, rather than allow low participation to shape the outcome.

The movement has been prominent in public debates about undocumented immigration and government policy. As the local elections approach, its leadership has also encouraged supporters to consider how political parties address issues that matter to them.

However, the information provided does not identify the specific candidates Ngobese-Zuma wants supporters to vote for, nor does it name the politicians she referred to as “thieves”. Her remarks should therefore be understood as her criticism of political leaders rather than proof of wrongdoing by any particular individual.

The appeal also highlights the importance of participation in municipal elections, where voter turnout can affect which parties and candidates secure seats on local councils.

With November 4 approaching, Ngobese-Zuma’s challenge to supporters is straightforward: do not stay away from the ballot box. Whether her warning translates into increased participation among March and March supporters remains to be seen.
