The cheeky picture garnered a lot of attention and unfortunately, some of it wasn’t good. Many celebrities, including influencers such as Mihlali Ndamase posted sexy lingerie pictures to mark Valentine’s Day but Ntsiki’s didn’t receive this praise.

This tweet created much discussion with people coming to Ntsiki’s defence.

Ntsiki also had her say.”Here is what I wish for you to understand….. When I too wear face beats, weaves and costumes I will be exactly the same as your fake beauties. In fact, you will be stunned at how photogenic I am. But there is absolutely NOTHING they can do to have a mind like mine.”

I get that Ntsiki ain’t your type, but is it necessary to insult her ?

Report the account that made fun of Ntsiki.

It’s stupid and reckless. This thing of trying to not be human on Twitter is evil.

The thing is you think because people don’t know you, you can mock people as you please.

Always supporting gender-based violence victims and voicing her opinions, she shared a string of tweets on the decision to dismiss the rape case against Fresh and Euphonik on Monday.

Again…… A rapist usually repeats the crime. Even if you don’t have evidence. If enough women come forward…. You are each others evidence.

The decision by Prosecutor to issue a nolle prosequi is based on whether or not the SAPS has done it’s work in providing him or her with sufficient evidence to prosecute.

So the issue is what investigations did the Detective do before handing the file to the Prosecutor.
