Ntsiki Mazwai backs Floyd Shivambu

The controversial poet Ntsiki Mazwai posted a photo posing next to Floyd Shivambu. She expressed sadness over Shivambu's axing as the secretary-general by MK Party President Jacob Zuma.

"Eish. Angithandi ngomuntu wam yazi," Ntsiki Mazwai wrote. This roughly translates to, "I do not like what is happening to my person."

In another tweet, a curious Mazwai posed a question, asking whether people think Shivambu might be a victim of professional jealousy.

"Do you think Floyd Shivambu and Dr Khanyisile Litchfield Tshabalala are victims of professional jealousy in MKP? Are they a threat to those less qualified?"

SA reacts to Mazwai's posts

Netizens have reacted to Ntsiki Mazwai's words with shock and confusion. Some unearthed a tweet by Mazwai, where she criticised Floyd Shivambu. Here are a few reactions from peeps below:

@lamech19700 asked:

"But you said, Dudu was right about Floyd. Dudu has never said anything nice about Nyiko, so elaborate."

@SipheleleHadeb9 argued:

"Jokes aside, Floyd is a necessity in Parliament under the MKP. I mean, if it wasn't for the fact that MKP had to wait until June to have the 8/10 position filled, he was definitely going to be deployed there. So this thing of National Organiser and SG was a political something."

@phathuxolo_nazo stated:

"Eish, MKP, it’s a family business, and they can’t challenge Floyd politically, and they know that."

@nkabindem33 shared:

"Nobody told him to go to eNkandla."

@Enos27709274 responded:

"Do you see why we say MKP is not the correct vehicle to facilitate black Unity?"

@MduMkize replied:

"This is leadership itself. He will come back strong. MK has fairly new parliament members as a result, not as vociferous as they should be. Simply still putting their darts on the row. He will be handy to build confidence. We love you, SG."

@FrankTalk0000 responded:

"Haters will say it's Photoshop."

@siya_fodo asked:

"What, now my commander? I think Zuma is old enough now, he knows what he is doing."
