Ntsiki Mazwai has done what Ntsiki Mazwai does, but this time her own father has joined the chorus of those speaking out against the controversial poet, who is related to several talented and respected South Africans.
Irate and embarrassed parent, former journalist and anti-apartheid activist Thami Mazwai has distanced himself from comments by his daughter and poet Ntsiki Mazwai against President Cyril Ramaphosa, whom she accused of wanting to “repeat the Marikana massacre with the Covid -19″.
Ramaphosa is yet to respond to the letter and his spokesperson did not reply to a WhatsApp message sent to her on Sunday. In the letter, Ntsiki, who is a poet and regular commentator on Twitter, further wrote: “Here we are again at the same place. In a different way but it’s the same lesson. You have a tendency of putting money ahead of your own people. You have a tendency to appease the white master at the expense of your people. You will never be able to rationalise why you’re a billionaire in such a poverty-stricken country and we can’t point to anything you have created.
She went on: “Mr President you have now let loose an untrained army to go play power games in the townships. I am yet to see the army terrorise the elite in suburbia. But it’s Day 2 of the quarantine and I am already seeing videos of army personelle abusing black people. You said spaza’s remain open but it doesn’t seem to be the case,” Ntsiki wrote.
