Ntsiki Mazwai might have been introduced to the general public via her poetry. But of late, the personality is more renowned for her controversial Twitter account and her alleged disdain for any successful black South African women, especially if she wears wigs, weaves, lashes and makeup.

As such, she has also become a site when many tweeps feel that they too can comment on her body. While someone else might attempt to steer away from such content. Ntsiki is “brave” or presumably looking to trend as she will sometimes drop images of her celebrating her body.
Ntsiki Mazwai goes full commando
Taking to Twitter, Ntsiki shared what was her getaway to a river. The images shared of her time there featured Mamiya going full commando as she had nothing in terms of clothing items worn and was letting her entire naked body feel the sun and water.
However, as soon as it landed on the blue app the discourse in terms of her body began. Of course there were those that were simply body-shaming for the fun of it. Mostly men when it comes to this regard.
But there were those that attempted to speak on her body due to how vocal Mazwai has been when it comes to other fellow ZAlebs’ bodies. A fact, which when Mazwai attempted to go on the defensive mode in terms of her own body shaming on Twitter, one tweep was quick to remind her that she should not be throwing stones from a glass house.
This is as screenshots of Mazwai body-shaming AKA as a dig to DJ Zinhle was circulated amongst others.
Even Amanda Black attempted to defend Mazwai in the comments section when one tweep suggested that Ntsiki is dirty. This has been a running go-to joke for many who attempt to cyberbully Mazwai by suggesting that she is either dirty or the least successful of the Mazwai sisters.
The joke comes from the Roast of Somizi Mhlongo where Ntsiki was part of the panellists that joined the roast. But it quickly showed that maybe, just maybe, the roast was meant for Ntsiki as most of the harshest jokes and jabs were directed at her. This includes the still watched series of jokes by Roast Master, Skhumba.
Mazwai recently reflected on that experience when she shared that:
In light of Skhumba's set, Nomzamo Mbatha’s set is mild from the viewer's experience as it has been confirmed that the sets are edited for television. This is as the only matter we see touched on is the alleged cropping of Mazwai from pictures with her alleged more accomplished and brilliant sisters. Watch it below:
As such, it came as a surprise when Mazwai took to Twitter to allege that her former manager at the time shared personal information about her with Mbatha to use for her set. But it was Mazwai’s last sentence of the tweet which raised an eyebrow. This is as Mazwai, in true Gogo Maweni style, seemed to curse or ill-wish misfortune on Mbatha.
