Take a look at Ndlozi's tweet below:
Below are some of the responses Ndlozi's tweet received from South Africans:
@loobangs said:
"Yes wena Ndlozi. Next we'll be telling them to go to school without applying lotion and brushing their teeth cause all those are foreign to us. Amandla fighter."
@BILLY__KING wrote in response to a comment against Ndlozi:
"Absolute abuse. Those kids look neat. Not according to her taste, but neat. They are there for education. Give them that. Do not impose your idea of a nest on them."
@Black_Indaba shared:
"This happens in most black schools. Our own mothers hate our hair, they praise relaxed hair but call our hair untidy."
@Chrisie_L tweeted:
"Everyone talking about "neatness" must also bear in mind that black hair was not designed to be combed. Thus you have to either blow or relax it to comb it easily. Free yourself from mental slavery, black child. Wake up! You're enough, your hair is beautiful!"
Previously, Briefly.co.za reported that Ndlozi went on a rant on social media. Ndlozi's sentiments come after what he called the emergence of the Democratic Alliance in Parliament, suggesting that the African National Congress is now bullied by the opposition to remove the Public Protector Advocate Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
In support of the motion to remove the embattled Public Protector on Tuesday, Parliament voted after the motion was launched by the DA.
As the ruling party, the ANC had to hold an urgent caucus meeting on the matter just after Mkhwebane's failed attempt to halt the move to axe her through the Constitutional Court.
