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?"
