Accra: Ghanaian broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah has taken a swipe at South African anti-migrant activist Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, describing her as a dangerous figure who has built a public profile on hatred rather than genuine activism. Her comments follow GHOne TV's interview with Ngobese-Zuma, which came a day after the activist's involvement in the March and March anti-immigration protests in South Africa on June 30, 2026.
According to Ghana Web, Anamoah reacted on her X handle, expressing strong disapproval of Ngobese-Zuma's actions and the rhetoric espoused by the "March and March" leader. "She's not an activist. She's a bloodthirsty xenophobic creature who has built a platform on fear and hostility towards Black Africans," Anamoah stated in her critique.
Anamoah further argued that individuals who incite hatred should not receive the same platform or legitimacy as those engaged in genuine civic debate. She emphasized, "People who incite hatred against others don't deserve to be treated as though their views are just another side of a civilised debate."
Additionally, Anamoah cautioned media outlets against giving such rhetoric legitimacy under the guise of balanced reporting. "Normalising hate under the banner of balance only makes intolerance and gross stupidity more acceptable," she added.
Ngobese-Zuma leads March and March, a civic coalition that set a June 30 deadline demanding that all undocumented foreign nationals vacate South Africa. Rights organisations have characterised the group's actions as xenophobic, despite the movement framing its goals as a national immigration policy campaign.
The protests have drawn international concern, with reports indicating that a Ghanaian businessman was shot dead amid the unrest, although South African authorities have since disputed that account.
