Popular poet and media personality had no nice things to say to the international car brand BMW following an advert that caused a stir on social media.
The star said the advert which has the words, "We are our ancestors' wildest dreams" with the word ancestors crossed out was a slap in the face of Africans.
Taking to her Instagram page, Ntsiki Mazwai shared a video calling out the car brand. She said the company should respect African culture. She wrote:

"The fact that they scratched it out it would have been dope if they used mama ester’s designs rather not this nonsense."
@Maphupho_Amahle commented:
"This is not invalidating ancestors at all, it's a way of saying "we are reaching milestones we never thought were possible". My ancestors could have never imagined owning a BMW because they didn't even know it existed, I on the other hand just didn't think I'd reach that far."

"I’m sorry but someone saying “BMW is cancelling our ancestors” is dusting me."
