March and March blames election losses for Facebook suspension of Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma

March and March Movement has accused the government’s ruling elites of being unhappy following the 2026 local government election results, after Facebook suspended the account of its leader, Jacinta Zinhle Ngobese-Zuma.

"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," the organisation said in a statement.

The movement spokesperson Sandile Dube confirmed that Ngobese-Zuma’s Facebook page had been suspended and said she would continue communicating with South Africans through the organisation’s official Facebook page.

Dube also warned supporters that Ngobese-Zuma had not created any alternative Facebook accounts, saying any other pages bearing her name were not hers and had not been authorised by her.

“Any other page will not be from her for now until communicated otherwise,” the statement said.

The suspension took effect on November 6, with Facebook citing an alleged violation of its Community Standards relating to adult sexual solicitation.

Ngobese-Zuma was given 180 days to appeal the decision before her account could be permanently disabled.

Facebook’s suspension notification cited an alleged breach of its adult sexual solicitation rules. The platform has not publicly provided any additional explanation beyond the reason stated in the notification.

Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma’s Facebook account suspended over adult sexual solicitation rule.
