Ntsiki Mazwai accuses Moshe Ndiki of hate speech

Controversial musician Ntsiki Mazwai has thrown a fit over something said by Metro FM host Moshe Ndiki about her appearance during Mo Flava’s breakfast show.

This comes after Mazwai recently posted a series of semi-nude photographs of herself on Twitter with her breasts exposed in some of the images.

Before the morning show ended, Moshe said a whole lot of impolite and inappropriate things about Ntsiki's naked body, obviously laughing over it because that's the content metro pays him for, but it was crass and wrong, no one called him out.

He called her 'Ntsiki "Ha ke hlape" Mazwai'. meaning, she doesn't bath. And then continued to insinuate that she isn't attractive. I just wished moflava hadn't played into it.

Mazwai was so incensed by what was said that she addressed her concerns in an email that she sent to the Metro FM station manager Anthony “Tony” Soglo.

She seemingly wanted to see Ndiki punished for his utterances and was disappointed by the station’s request for Ndiki to simply apologise to her on air.

So u wanted Moshe to be fired? Osele

People came to Ndiki’s defence in response to Mazwai’s tweet, but she did not take too kindly to this and responded with some colourful language.

This did not stop various Twitter users from coming to his defence and accusing her of unfairly trying to get him fired.

I understand Ntsiki is hurt but ke what was the main aim? Was it to get him fired and leave this young man unemployed? Moshe is still young, usazowenza amaphutha just like any of us (Inlc. Sis Ntsiki). I feel like we are being a lil bit harsh on him ke manje singekho isdingo. https://t.co/RspgCISmg8

Following Metro FM’s response, Mazwai has threatened to take the matter further and has since been posting profanities about the station.

Can we talk about this and besides BCCSA I think my lawyers need to handle this one https://t.co/lURppLSWyF

Fuck Metro Fm really……it doesn't have any credibility or any voices we are interested in hearing.

— NtsikiMazwaiMedia (@ntsikimazwai) October 7, 2019

If Moshe is dishing what I usually serve……does Moshe raise critical issues that divide society…..like I KNOW I do? Or are you confusing hate speech and critical thinking

Apart from his on-air apology, Ndiki (who is currently on holiday with his fiance Phelo Bala) has opted not to address Mazwai’s concerns online.
