Ntsiki Mazwai's Path to Redemption Post-YouTube Show Fan Backlash
South African activist Ntsiki Mazwai has faced backlash on social media following her comments about the anti-immigration protests.
Mazwai has frequently criticized the protests spearheaded by Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma and Ngizwe Mchunu, as well as their supporters and related movements.
Ntsiki issues an apology
In a TikTok video, Ntsiki Mazwai acknowledged her errors but also pointed out that many in the public were misguided as well.
Due to these differing perspectives, Ntsiki found that many have opted not to tune in to her YouTube podcast, Moya.
“South Africans, can we please forgive each other. I was wrong, everyone was wrong. Please forgive me because now you have boycotted my YouTube channel. Right now, the comments section is dry. I have nobody to talk to. You have taught me a lesson; I have learned the hard way.”

Public response to Ntsiki’s apology
Mzansi remains resolute and is not relenting.
@kgosigadiBee remarked:
“South Africans, you got the power, @ntsikimazwai said she was born in the wrong country, the PanAfricanist must give her audience. She is just sorry because you are starving her on her bread. May this boycott intensify across Celebrities that ignore your plea.”
@Afri_core commented:
“Was she going to apologise if foreigners supported her instead, or was she going to double down and keep gaslighting South Africans who are concerned about the immigration crisis and the lawlessness that comes with it? She needs to stick to her opinions.”
@Mphothegreatest added:
The boycott will teach her a lesson. Any unpatriotic South Africans must go and get support from their favourite foreigners. If you love foreigners so much, then go & live with them in their own countries. South Africa is for South Africans. Put South Africans first.”
@SbuMpungose defended Ntsiki:
“Hayi guys, please forgive her. Ntsiki is one of us through and through, including her right to speak freely. Aowa guys…plus she asked so nicely. I don’t agree with some of her views, but we can’t beat down our sister.”
@AfricanBlackAsa said:
“I was so hurt in 2024 when Ntsiki Mazwai took Chidimma’s side after being a victim of identity theft fraud, the privileged will make you overlook people’s struggles with life.”
