Mzansi spoken word artist, poet, musician, and beadwork designer, Ntsiki Mazwai is notorious for her outspoken personality and controversial opinions. She is often at the centre of social media storms and doesn’t appear to mind. She has once again found herself at the receiving end of backlash after she dragged musician Sjava into Kelly Khumalo’s situation.

 

 

 

 

Taking to Twitter, Mazwai questioned the fact that Sjava is still being allowed to perform at concerts while Kelly Khumalo was recently cut from a performance.Earlier this week, Tribute to Women festival organizers announced that they had removed singer Kelly Khumalo from the artist list.

This is because evidence in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial links her to the footballer’s killers.The news was largely met with celebration from South Africans who are desperate for justice in the Senzo Meyiwa case.Many headed to the comment section to defend Sjava who they apparently believe is innocent. Many accused her of employing selective outrage.

“When Sjava’s gigs were cancelled a couple of years ago, I don’t remember you tweeting about Kelly Khumalo’s gigs/shows. You become an activist when it suits your agenda.”
