Ntsiki Mazwai has slammed Mamokgethi Phakeng, the vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town, for an opinionated tweet that left a bad taste in Mzansi people's mouths.

In a deleted tweet, Mamokgethi responded to a social media user who was advertising her nail business on Twitter. @YummydishLebo asked ordinary people to help her business by getting their nails done for R200.

Using the platform's quote tweet, Phakeng ignored the girl's original reason for the post and began promoting her foundation.
