Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, the Leader of the March and March Movement in South Africa, has revealed that she has been dragged to court by the Human Rights Commission in the country.
According to Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, South Africa has become too relaxed about illegal immigration,
She added that state resources are being stretched to cater for people who are not South African citizens.
The SA activist claimed that the lawsuit filed against her, her movement, and her lawyer is unlawful.
Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma therefore urged South Africans to show up in court and support her legal battle.
Speaking in a viral video circulating on social media, Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma called on fellow South Africans to support her, saying, “The Human Rights Commission has taken me to court in my personal capacity, taken our lawyer to court, and some of our members as well. They have cited us as respondents because they claim the police need to arrest us for stopping illegal immigrants in hospitals who are here for all kinds of reasons besides emergency healthcare.
“The South African Human Rights Commission, which is supposed to protect our right to life and ensure that the law is upheld, is the very same commission now seeking to aid and abet illegal immigrants in the country instead of making provisions for them to be deported and returned to their countries of origin,” she said.
“So, we are calling on all South Africans who are available on Tuesday to please join us at the Durban High Court. That is where we will be appearing, and we want to make our voices heard.
“The country can no longer take care of all these illegal immigrants. None of our resources is capable of, or even budgeted for, accommodating so many people who are not South African citizens. Therefore, we call on all of you who are available on the day to please join us,” she added.
Jacinta has been at the forefront of xenophobic attacks against Ghanaians and other African nationals.
In related news, Leader of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, has fumed at the government of Ghana over the evacuation of 297 Ghanaians from South Africa
According to Julius Malema, the response of the Ghanaian government was not necessary as it creates an impression that “we are all like that”.
He further argued that South Africa should not respond in the same way, saying Ghana’s approach does not reinforce dialogue and diplomatic engagement.
Speaking to the media, Julius Malema argued, “The Ghana response was not necessary; it now creates an impression that we are all like that. But it is a certain section of our society that needs to be contained by law enforcement.
One Ghanaian lady was saying I wouldn’t have taken this option, but the problem was that we are being beaten in front of the Police, and the Police are not doing anything. That is a problem. When this opportunity came for me to leave, I left.
Because if the Police cannot defend me, it means the state is in agreement with the people who are beating me”.
He added, “We will resolve this; the President of Ghana should have given us some time to deal with this matter. And we will get to the bottom of it; we hope they will come to their senses. We don’t have to respond the same way they did; we need to pursue diplomatic engagement with Ghana.
We don’t think Ghana reacted in a manner that reinforces disloyalty and diplomatic engagement; it actually creates a very bad extreme situation, which is not. It is a select few we are pursuing and persuading the government to act on those few.
They must give use sometime, and those who don’t feel safe, especially the legally documented Ghanaians, should be able to run to the police station for safety. The reaction of the government should have been postponed to give us an opportunity to deal with what is happening in South Africa”.
