Ntsiki Mazwai incited another fervent discussion online as she criticized Jacinta for spreading what she called falsehoods and exaggerating the facts. Sharing a video in which Jacinta discusses undocumented immigrants, Ntsiki claimed that those who agreed with Jacinta’s narrative were part of the problem, asserting that Jacinta often fabricates stories, statistics, and historical accounts for effect.
The post quickly garnered a lot of attention, resulting in thousands of views and prompting a range of reactions from South Africans.
Ntsiki questions Jacinta’s credibility
Ntsiki further emphasized criticisms initially voiced by another user on X, who referred to Jacinta as:
“educationally empty”
and encouraged viewers to watch the video themselves. Instead of letting the critique fade, social media users filled the replies, with some agreeing that Jacinta’s arguments were weak while others considered the attack unfair and excessively personal.
Supporters rush to Jacinta’s defence
The backlash against Ntsiki did not resonate well with many on X, who accused her of fixating on Jacinta without presenting constructive solutions. One user, @Nama_Khoe, remarked:
“How come you are so fixated on putting Jacinta down? Lead your own revolution, Mama… I’ve never understood the bashing of someone doing something to change things.”
Another user questioned Ntsiki’s intentions, asking:
“Did she not want to come to your podcast or is someone paying you to do what you are doing now?”
Others suggested that Jacinta’s rising prominence might be unsettling her critics.

Mzansi turns the heat on Ntsiki
Rather than targeting Jacinta, many users directed their anger toward Ntsiki. One user bluntly stated:
“Lapho if she was contending for the position of JHB mayor with you, she was going to take it. You are no match to her. You are nothing compared to her. You are damaged goods.”
Another user ridiculed Ntsiki’s political future, commenting:
“You’ll never be our Mayor in Johannesburg, a druggii. Never.”
Many others urged Ntsiki to concentrate on her own initiatives rather than continuously criticizing Jacinta, suggesting she appeared more invested in disparaging someone actively sparking dialogue about pressing national issues.
Based on the replies, it seems Jacinta garnered support from a considerable segment of social media users, while Ntsiki faced significant backlash.
