She said this will happen if they continue ignoring South Africans’ concerns about illegal immigration.

Jacinta insists the issue played a decisive role in the recent local government elections.

In a strongly worded post following the 4 November elections, she said parties needed to be honest about what cost them support at the polls instead of avoiding the immigration debate.

Jacinta claimed immigration was one of the issues that influenced how people voted but accused political leaders of ignoring repeated warnings from her movement.

“I wish people would tell political parties the truth about why they lost votes… Immigration was a decider in these elections, and we told you so; you chose to go against the will of the people!” she said.

She also accused political parties of making the debate about her rather than dealing with the concerns she said ordinary South Africans have been raising.

“You chose to make this a Jacinta issue, and the only thing I’ve done is articulate the will of the people.”

She warned that political parties shouldn’t expect voters to remain patient if they continue refusing to address the issue.

“Continue to ignore this, and in 2029 we will remove all these political parties that keep allowing foreigners to disrespect us in our own country,” she said.

Jacinta further expressed frustration with political leaders and those who defend their approach to immigration.

“We are tired of their disgusting behaviour and attitude in our country, and anyone who chooses to defend that must go with them,” she said.

Her warning signals that March and March intends to keep immigration on the political agenda beyond the local government elections, with the movement’s leader setting her sights on the 2029 national and provincial elections.

Before the 4 November polls, Jacinta had urged supporters not to vote for the ANC, accusing the government of failing to listen to their grievances despite 21 months of demonstrations.

The movement has consistently called for stricter immigration enforcement, tighter border controls, and the deportation of undocumented foreign nationals.

Her comments also come after MK party president Jacob Zuma met March and March leadership on election day and acknowledged the movement’s work around immigration.

The MK party said undocumented foreign nationals should regularise their stay in South Africa or return to their countries through lawful processes, while cautioning that immigration enforcement must not be used to justify xenophobia, discrimination or violence.
