On The Drive with Thando, we were joined by activist and political figure Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma, who spoke ahead of the June 30th marches schedules to take place around South Africa. She spoke about her role as the leader of March and March and the movement’s ongoing push for accountability and governmental change.

Jacinta unpacked what it means to lead a people-driven movement in a time of heightened political tension, reflecting on the power of public protest, community mobilisation, and staying rooted in purpose even when facing criticism. She also shared insights into the challenges of organising at scale, and why she believes grassroots voices remain central to shaping South Africa’s future.
