March and March leader Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma has criticised the South African government after sharing a video that appeared to show a group of Zimbabwean nationals gathered at OR Tambo International Airport.
Ngobese-Zuma claimed the group was waiting for a Zimbabwean prophet, although she did not identify the religious figure or provide details about the event the passengers were allegedly attending.
In a post on X, the March and March leader used the footage to renew her criticism of the government, arguing that the scene supported her longstanding concerns about how authorities are managing immigration and governance.
The specific gathering referenced in her post could not be independently verified at the time of reporting. It was also not immediately clear when the footage was recorded, how many people were present or which prophet the group was reportedly waiting for.
Large groups of Zimbabwean nationals have previously gathered at OR Tambo International Airport in connection with visits by prominent religious figures travelling to South Africa for religious events. However, the circumstances surrounding the particular gathering highlighted by Ngobese-Zuma remain unclear.
Her latest comments form part of her broader campaign focusing on immigration, border management and government policy.
Ngobese-Zuma has previously raised concerns about undocumented migration and questioned the government’s handling of immigration-related issues. She has also criticised authorities over the presence of foreign nationals in various South African communities.
The March and March movement, which Ngobese-Zuma leads, has been active in campaigning around undocumented immigration and calling for stronger enforcement of immigration laws. Her views have also attracted criticism, with debates continuing over the movement’s approach to immigration and its impact on relations between South Africans and foreign nationals.
Ngobese-Zuma has maintained that her movement is focused on addressing undocumented immigration rather than targeting foreign nationals because of their nationality. She has also said that March and March condemns violence and criminal activity carried out in the name of its campaign.
There had been no immediate response from the South African government or the Department of Home Affairs specifically addressing her latest post at the time of reporting.
For now, questions remain about the circumstances surrounding the airport gathering, including the identity of the religious figure allegedly expected by the crowd and when the footage was recorded.
