A new Mzansi Magic show premiered last night at 20:00 called Izangoma Zodumo and Mzansi, especially Ntsiki Mazwai was highly unimpressed. The poet who is not afraid of stating her facts posted a scathing video where she slams the whole cast of the series as well as the producers, saying they blatantly disrespect African cultures.
"The jews are not ridiculing their own spirituality. The Christians are not ridiculing own their spirituality. But the self hating monkeys are making a mockery of ubungoma on TV. Pathetic and Sad. Blacks need psychological help," she tweeted.
"Izangoma Zodumo" is all about the lives of two traditional healers Prudence “Ngwe” Magagula and Makgotso “Gogo Maweni” Makopo. This show gains viewers access to the lives of these women who are both gobela's (traditional healers and initiators.)
After the premier of the series, Ntsiki posted a 2-minute clip where she bashes the shows for disgracefully depicting black people as damaged for making a mockery out of their traditions.
"I want to point out to black people that Christians and whites have never made a mockery of their spirituality, the Jews have never made a mockery of their spirituality …so black people are you that damaged that it has reached a point where you make a mockery of your ancestors and African spirituality live on TV?
"How much do you hate yourselves, for you to look down on yourselves and let the entire world look down on you," she said in the video.
She then went on to gun for the producers who are undermining black people.
"You don’t even the brilliance or foresight to teach what African spirituality is, instead you go drag yourselves on the floor like freaking idiots and you think everybody must clap for you after you have undermined your own spirituality,” she said.
Ntsiki then added: "I want to find out who the producers of the show are and we must name and shame so that they may never think of creating content that embarrasses us like this … I’m so ashamed and so embarrassed of being black this morning because black (people) hate themselves so much that they would embarrass themselves and ridicule their spirituality."
The songstress even went as far as creating a petition which calls for Mzansi Magic to stop airing the series.
"Mzansi magic: Stop a reality show that discriminates our African tradition and the traditional healing. - Sign the Petition!" she advised.
