Ntsiki weighs in on Cyan's dancing
Ntsiki Mazwai has defended Cyan Boujee, claiming that this form of dancing is African and acceptable in some traditions. However, she did point out that the clothing is not and it downplays the importance of the dance. Her post reads:
"I love this for African women, but we need to find a way to address the clothing thing because in African traditional attire, this wouldn’t be quite so shocking. They are doing the mgidi dance, this is how we do it anyway.
"It’s the western clothing that cheapens it. Or am I wrong?"
Mzansoi weighs in on Ntsiki's views
Netizens added their own opinion on Ntsiki's views. With some agreeing, and others disagreeing with her.
@sheabutterhun:
"No this is degeneracy. It is wrong. The very same tactics that were used in America."
@Malcolm75160123:
"I'm sorry, but our kids need revolutionary motivation - and I don't mean political revolution - this is just not it. And she's definitely not the right candidate."
@NkanyeziMthemb8:
"Thanks sis, today I learnt something new that twerking in our language is called ukugida."
@cyclecrippler:
"Dance styles are different African traditional vs western traditional one, which both can only mean celebration of culture. As with traditional dance like ukida or German dance like polka. However, there are subculture provocative dance which are suggestive or teasing."
