Jacobs was Students’ Organisation Leader for the DA. In the
2024 South African general election, he was 60th on the national party list. During his tenure as a DA MP, he served on the Portfolio Committee on Sports, Arts, and Culture. In June 2025, Jacobs announced he was leaving the DA, and joining the
Patriotic Alliance. This development came despite Jacobs and PA president and Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture,
Gayton Mackenzie, clashing during a committee meeting earlier that week. In July 2025, Patriotic Alliance president
Gayton McKenzie unveiled Jacobs as a councillor of the City of
Johannesburg.This was following the recent resignation of Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Transport, Kenny Kunene after he was found at the house of one of the arrested suspects in the case of
DJ Sumbody. == References ==
