We can’t believe that some people have a problem with other people’s hair… in 2016? What a wow!
eNCA reporter Nontobeko Sibisi found herself in a rather unfortunate situation when she had to defend her natural hair. Imagine!
This was after she received a rather confusing compliment from one of her Twitter followers. The user, @ZenoyiseJ, mentioned how gorgeous the bubbly arts and entertainment reporter is.

However, she doesn’t like her hair. Say what?
How does one person’s hair offend another?
Anyway, Nontobeko couldn’t believe the “compliment”.
..dude, I couldn’t believe my eyes. worse, it’s from one older black sister to another – it’s saddening! https://t.co/OYnC0KZWFs

..Offensive? It’s sad that as a black girl child – living in the years of uhuru – I have to defend my natural hair. pic.twitter.com/GxB16X3EnV

She received great support from the Twitter community, including Claire Mawisa.
We love your hair, Nontobeko. In fact, there are a lot of women in the South African entertainment industry who proudly rock their natural hair.
