Ntsiki Mazwai pokes fun at Pearl Thusi
Poet and activist Ntsiki Mazwai has entered the fray regarding the controversy surrounding Pearl Thusi’s remarks during a memorial for the late DJ Warras, responding to the considerable backlash the actress has faced online.
Thusi has been under scrutiny as comments made during DJ Warras’ memorial have drawn widespread criticism.
Viewers accused the Queen Sono star of using the occasion to focus on herself after discussing her connection with DJ Warras, comments that many deemed ill-suited to the context of mourning.
The criticism intensified when Pearl implied during her address that the deceased DJ wished to “cuddle” with her, a remark that triggered significant backlash on social media.
Some users defended Thusi, arguing this was her way of mourning, while others believed her comments were inappropriate.
Known for her sharp wit, Ntsiki Mazwai shared her thoughts with characteristic sarcasm.
In response to actor Siv Ngesi’s supportive gesture, where he posted a pink heart emoji on X, Ntsiki delivered a quick retort that resonated with audiences.
“Application for cuddles,” Mazwai stated, a line many perceived as a pointed reference to both Pearl and Siv amid the discussions surrounding the “cuddles.”

This comment sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, where many users appreciated her humor and frankness, while others suggested she was exacerbating an already delicate issue.
Some of Pearl’s supporters contended that Ntsiki’s observation trivialized the mourning process and overlooked the memorial’s emotional significance.
Nevertheless, a notable number of social media users were entertained by the humor.
