@govoetsek@Mzansiawake You don't have to support Jacinta. But if you want to criticise her, criticise her actual actions and provide evidence for serious accusations. Calling everyone who supports her “gullible” while providing no evidence isn't an argument — it's just name-calling.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake And let's be consistent: if your argument is that she hasn't done enough to educate or skill people, then you're holding her to responsibilities that primarily belong to government and other institutions. She is an activist, not a government department.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake Calling her a “grifter” who “preys on the poor and illiterate” is a serious allegation, so if you’re going to make that claim, you should provide evidence rather than just throwing insults around.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake So yes, skills and education are important — but let’s hold the people actually responsible for providing those things accountable. She has chosen to fight on the issue of illegal immigration & she has done her part by putting pressure on GOV and giving concerned Sa'ns a platform
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake If government is failing to address a problem, should citizens simply keep quiet until someone comes along with a skills-development programme? No. Activism and community mobilisation are also forms of action.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake Her role as an activist is to raise issues, mobilise, challenge authorities & put pressure on GOV to act. on the issue of illegal immigration, she has certainly done that. She has organised marches and challenged GOV over border control and the enforcement of immigration laws.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake It is not Jacinta’s duty to educate South Africans, create jobs, provide skills training or deliver public services. Those are primarily the responsibilities of government and the institutions entrusted with taxpayers’ money.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake Whether you agree with her methods or not, she has mobilised ordinary South Africans, taken these issues into the public space and forced conversations that government and politicians cannot simply ignore.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake She was willing to stand up and speak about issues that many SA'ns are afraid to confront — illegal immigration, pressure on public services, unemployment, crime, border control and the need for government to prioritise its own citizens.
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake You are a true imbecile, many South Africans are now working (take alot, ram, courier guys, etc, have hired many after 30 June), where do you stay wena mkhovu
@govoetsek@Mzansiawake point 1 SA children were admitted at school
point 2 she has shaken the whole continent many countries are now serious about the issue
point 3 our senior citizens no longer wait in long queues at clinics
point 4 she open eyes of many about dangers of illegal immigration
@Mzansiawake@govoetsek 1. Protested the situation at Addington Primary School,
2. Has put the issue of illegal immigration firmly into the national conversation
3. advocated for SA'ns to receive priority in access to public services
4. Mobilised ordinary citizens to participate in civic activism
