March and March confirmed the suspension via spokesperson Sandile Dube. The movement stated that Ngobese-Zuma would continue communicating through the organisation’s official Facebook page and warned supporters against unauthorised alternative accounts in her name. It questioned the timing (shortly after the 2026 local government elections) and linked it to the results, saying: “The government ruling elites are currently not in a jovial mood and probably view the movement as a primary reason and source for their loss.”
Ngobese-Zuma has denied wrongdoing, describing the allegation as “bizarre” in at least one interview and noting that she does not post sexual content. Facebook has not publicly released further details on the specific content or activity that triggered the action.
March and March is a civic movement focused on stricter enforcement against illegal/undocumented immigration (often using the slogan “Until We Win”). It gained prominence through protests, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal/Durban, and has faced court restrictions on some activities around the elections. It is not a political party and has positioned itself as non-aligned while criticising the performance of governing parties.
There is no independently verified public evidence that the South African government directed Facebook’s decision; the platform’s stated reason is a community standards violation. The movement’s claim remains an accusation based on timing and the election context. Reports of ANC losses or shifts in the 2026 local elections have circulated alongside commentary about the movement’s influence, though causal impact is disputed.
