Jacinta says SA has no shortage of men, question why foreign men are allowed into the country

March and March movement leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has sparked fresh debate over immigration after questioning why South Africa continues to admit foreign men who seek entry into the country under the claim of needing refugee status.

Ngobese-Zuma reportedly argued that South Africa has no shortage of men, raising questions about the government’s approach to foreign nationals seeking refuge within its borders.

Her remarks form part of her broader campaign against immigration, which has repeatedly called on authorities to prioritise South African citizens when making decisions about immigration and the country’s resources.

The statement has attracted attention amid ongoing discussions about the presence of foreign nationals in South Africa and the government’s handling of asylum and refugee applications.

However, the available information does not establish the exact circumstances under which Ngobese-Zuma made the comments. It is also unclear whether the remarks formed part of a larger speech or were made during a separate public engagement.

Her comments have drawn mixed reactions from social media users.

Some supported her position, arguing that the government should focus on the needs of South African citizens and strengthen its immigration policies.

Others criticised the remarks, describing them as hostile towards foreign nationals and arguing that people seeking protection should not automatically be treated as ordinary immigrants.

The debate has also highlighted the distinction between immigration and refugee protection, with refugee status involving legal processes and considerations that differ from those governing ordinary immigration.

At this stage, there is no confirmed information about whether the government has responded to Ngobese-Zuma’s remarks or whether she has provided further clarification.

Her statement has nevertheless reignited discussions about immigration, refugee policy and the responsibilities of the South African government.
