In a viral interview video, she boldly rejected pleas from neighbouring African nations regarding her group's ongoing anti-migrant demonstrations.
"They (African governments) must not caution their citizen against violence; they must come and fetch their citizens. Don't caution them to stay here; we don't want your citizens. We have got our own problems," Jacinta stated.
Jacinta slams United Nations over Donald Trump
The activist turned her attention to global bodies, pulling the United States into the conversation.
She questioned the moral authority of the international community, citing the policies of US President Donald Trump.
"Also, the United Nations must know that they failed to tell Trump to stop ICE. Why are they coming to us to stop us? If you want us to believe that your role as the UN is anything worth taking seriously, then start dealing with Trump; then we can take you seriously from there," Jacinta said.
Social media users across the continent have since expressed mixed reactions to her fiery declarations.

"From Nigeria, Jacinta, I love your courage as a South African. We must all hold our government accountable; however, not to slaughter your fellow African brothers. This is pain that will not go away in centuries to come."
