Ntsiki Mazwai has sparked another heated social media debate after taking aim at Jacinta, accusing her of spreading misinformation and exaggerating facts.

The criticism didn't sit well with many X users, who accused Ntsiki of repeatedly targeting Jacinta instead of offering solutions herself. One user, @Nama_Khoe, wrote:

"How come you are so fixated on putting Jacinta down? Lead your own revolution, Mama... I've never understood the bashing of someone doing something to change things."

Another commenter questioned Ntsiki's motives, asking:

"Did she not want to come to your podcast or is someone paying you to do what you are doing now?"

Others argued that Jacinta's growing influence appeared to be making her critics uncomfortable.

Rather than piling onto Jacinta, many users aimed their frustration at Ntsiki. One user bluntly wrote:

"Lapho if she was contending for the position of JHB mayor with you, she was going to take it. You are no match to her. You are nothing compared to her. You are damaged goods."

Another user mocked Ntsiki's political prospects, commenting:

"You'll never be our Mayor in Johannesburg, a druggii. Never."

Several others insisted Ntsiki should focus on building her own movement instead of constantly criticising Jacinta, saying she seemed more interested in tearing down someone who was at least trying to spark conversations around the country's biggest issues.

Judging by the replies, Jacinta walked away with the support of a large portion of social media users, while Ntsiki found herself on the receiving end of some of the harshest criticism.

Ntsiki's comments ignite political debate

Recently Briefly News reported that Ntsiki Mazwai sparked heated debate after claiming that the growing March and March movement was a sign that South Africa was going back to white rule. The Land Party mayoral candidate defended her views, saying the party shares her values, but many social media users strongly disagreed, arguing that the movement focuses on illegal immigration rather than race.
