Her sister shared similar views in a separate post, shared on her personal social media account.

She said:

“Also...With the way alcohol affects our society and how it has become a part of the hopelessness and depression, we should really MAKE THE REVOLUTIONARY DECISION TO STAY SOBER. Andithi singaseli but masingabi ngamanxila bazala. ‪#dontfightme‬”

Thandiswa doesn’t often make divisive statements but it seems she felt strongly enough about this to take a stand.

It is also worth noting that this is one of the rare instances where Ntsiki’s family members have aligned themselves with her views publicly.

The poet has previously blasted her family for failing to defend her in public.

Ntsiki Mazwai was not impressed with her family for not defending her when people drag her online. Zizo Tshwete had been preaching the gospel on social media and some people were not really sure about her intentions. Zizo's husband, Mayihlome Tshwete defended her from social media bullies online and said that she had always had the gift of preaching, she just chose to use it in a different way. This made Ntsiki question her own family for never coming to her rescue.
