Ntsiki'Mazwai's latest music inspired by Charlotte Maxeke

Just one listen to her music will show why Ntsiki snagged this prize. Her latest jam Bevuya is a tribute to freedom fighter Charlotte Maxeke, who Ntsiki says was "like Winnie Mandela on steroids". Ntsiki lauded the late comrade, saying she did a lot for black people and does not want people to forget the struggle hero with whom the poet identifies. She said:

"When I read about her, I get the sense she was a lot like me, very uncomfortable, very confrontational, especially to men and about women occupying space. "

Some fans were shocked that this was the only time she got recognised for her work in music. Those who listen would be familiar with her unique sound that she describes as " different bold, uncomfortable but lovable."
