Human rights activist and poet Ntsiki Mazwai is one of the country’s most vocal media personalities. Never holding back, she is ever ready to share her controversial opinions on social media – Twitter to be exact.
Taking some time to share her thoughts on Miss SA 2022, Ndavi Nokeri, Ntsiki commented that she is trying too hard to be white.
This after a video started circulating of the beauty queen introducing herself as the new Miss South Africa. According to Mazwai, who took to Twitter with her thoughts, Ndavi’s white accent is the reason why she was chosen as the winner.
“I see why they chose her… Sho mlungu wethu,” she wrote in a tweet on Thursday this week.
