The activist shared the news in a video, informing her followers that the account she had built over time was no longer accessible.
A screenshot shown in the video indicated that the account had been removed from the platform and was no longer available to users.
At the time of the ban, the account had amassed more than 378,000 followers and over 3.1 million likes, making it one of the most visible platforms associated with her activism and public campaigns.
Jacinta said she has no backup
In the video, Jacinta expressed disappointment at the development and revealed that she does not currently have a backup account.
She said:
"Hi guys, my TikTok account is banned, and I don't have a backup account."

The announcement quickly attracted attention from supporters, many of whom took to social media to express sympathy and ask whether she planned to appeal the decision or create a new account.
The exact reason behind the ban has not been made public. TikTok typically removes or suspends accounts that are found to have violated its community guidelines, although the company also allows users to appeal certain enforcement decisions.
Jacinta's fanbase reacted to her setback
Jacinta has become one of the most recognised figures in South Africa's anti-illegal immigration movement, regularly using social media to share videos, campaign messages and updates from protests and community activities.
Because of her large following, news of the ban spread quickly across multiple social media platforms, with many supporters describing it as a major setback.
Others have called on TikTok to review the decision, while some encouraged her to establish new social media channels to remain connected with her audience.
For now, Jacinta's TikTok presence appears to have come to an abrupt halt, leaving thousands of followers waiting to see whether the account will be restored or whether she will launch a new platform in the coming days.

"It happened to Winnie Mandela when they took her to Brandfort, thinking they were silencing her. Phambili ntombazana South Africans are behind you ungapheli amandla sekuseduze phambili, and please have a backup account for this page."
Pheliswa Nggoleka commented:

You have shaken the Universe already. Manje, it's too late kakhulu, Africa knows you and knows this movement it is unstoppable, sifike nangaphandle kwe Africa so nje it's too late for them."
