Mzansi reacts to Ntsiki Mazwai's jab

As Twitter streets would have it, Mazwai's jab, though subtle, had Mzansi putting two-and-two together to piece together what exactly she referred to.

The streets decided that the comment was a direct shade at musician and podcast host Nandi Madida.

@Brown_Sugarrr said:

"You guys don’t have anything else to discuss or talk about. It’s men all day, everyday. Is this some sickness or what?"

@kay_mbili wrote:

"The problem with this whole issue around Nandi is that she was reflecting on the men she has been exposed to. But people are responding with projection about the men they have exposed themselves to. We can be in the same country but live and be exposed to different things and people."

Another user, @Matambanazo, said:

"Women have learnt hard lessons from associating with feminists. Dineo is a clear example and she's struggling with reversing the consequences of listening to feminists. She's triggered by a mere mention of giving men grace."

@Hlomza_ZA added:

"Ntsiki, we're not deadbeats. We just don't like the antihuman stunts that some of you advance on social media. Men are human, too. We're not free from the pitfalls of life. In fact, many of us are decent human beings, caring and romantic."

Another user, @KahleBafo, commented:

"Lol you assume everyone is a deadbeat because you are surrounded by them."

@Mageee63515 threw a jab at Mazwai herself, saying:

"Imagine as a woman being on the same side with Ntsiki Mazwai! Yoh, aowa."

@DBoyFres had a question:

"What's your opinion about "extending grace" to black males who are not deadbeats, queen?"

Another user, @SyandarLangaJr, shared an opinion:

"This statement will never come from a woman who’s happily married or someone who is lucky in umjolo."
