Ntsiki Mazwai Rallies to Help Child who was Kicked Out of School for Wearing Her Afro

The activist in Ntsiki Mazwai came out in full force after she was tagged in a video of a young girl sharing an unfortunate incident at her school. South African poet and talented bead artist Ntsiki Mazwai reacted to a video of a girl pupil who expressed shock and disbelief after she was sent home for wearing her natural hair. Internet user @MkwanaziTK posted the TikTok video on X, and tagged Ntsiki Mazwai, pleading her to intervene. Mazwai asked what school she attended and urged people to come forward with a name. Ntsiki Mazwai has always been an activist for natural hair and never shied away from slamming women who would wear weaves and proudly so. In 2024, Mazwai said it is a mental illness: "First, we need to address the mental illness of having two sets of hair on your head because you hate your hair so much. Let's start with the self-esteem issue ravaging black women."
