Ntsiki bumped into a photo of a lady lifting her wig to expose her receding hairline, allegedly caused by lace glue. The activist gave a frank view on black women who wear wigs, saying they have self-esteem issues:

"First we need to address the mental illness of having 2 sets of hair on your head because you hate your hair so much. Let's start with the self-esteem issue ravaging black women."

JmSebothoma responded:

"They don't love and appreciate themselves enough, that's why they want to be like some Westerns in order to gain their self-esteem."

Meanwhile, other netizens, mostly ladies, shot back at Ntsiki's slander. Previously, Ntsiki faced backlash after criticising women for wearing false eyelashes:

SMARTY_marties said:

"Can’t believe in 2023 we’re shaming people for choosing what they want with their hair. You really need to get over it."

BlueSnowball1 pointed out:

"Wigs are used to protect the natural hair when someone wants to grow out the hair underneath, like when you have hormonal issues or alopecia."

Viwekaz said:

"Nothing wrong with our hair, it's just hard to maintain. Siyasebenza we don't have time."

When asked for a comment on the backlash, Ntsiki evaded the question. However, Miss Mazwai told Briefly News about her plans for the MOYA podcast:

"This week's episode is SUCH a treat, Adv Muzi Sikhakhane is a gem! I am currently on a crowd-funding mission for new episodes for school holidays."
