Ntsiki Mazwai left some Twitter users touched over the weekend when she expressed her opinion of Christianity and Christian holidays being given prominence in South Africa.

The poet, known for her outspoken nature, said she was tired of having the popular religion"forced down her throat".

"I am tired of being oppressed by Christianity. We are not all Christian! Stop forcing it down our throats!" she told her followers on Twitter.went on to question why the SA calendar is saturated with Christian holidays and said that she figures it would be for the best if the country got"rid" of them.

Why must we have Christian public holidays when we are not all Christian? That's crazy! It's oppressive! Stop Christian Supremacy NOW!!!! Get rid of Christian public holidays on national calendarThere is a whatsapp going around saying people must disagree with taking away Christian holidays off our calendar. BUT I AGREE!!!! No the Christians are not more important than African traditions.

One of the debates that sprung from that conversation was around the official language spoken in Mzansi. Ntsiki is of the belief that Zulu should be the official language of South Africa. Even her followers felt that was a bit more complex but she pointed out that it would not prevent other languages from being spoken.

They give us holiday, overtime at work. Improved tourism, many shops gains. We plan wedding and other activities. Surely, we need to scrap out the nudes not Christian holidays.

And maybe the whole Religion can be removed in Africa

Nearly 80% of SA’s are Christian - totally ridiculous! Other religions celebrate their holy days without prejudice... believe in freedom of religion in SA

What I don't understand is why are you fighting to remove Christian holidays instead of fighting to get your own religious holiday recognized? No one is forcing you to celebrate Christian holidays, and no one is stopping you from celebrating whatever it is you choose to practice.

Just take them off your own calendar sister!

They must be removed

Jesus has been coming since b4 u were born. And he is still coming right?

Satan exposed for who he is right here!!

Who cars what she thinks... Another week, another useless Ntsiki article.... WHHHYYY

Sis'Ntsiki I'm with you 100% but let this slide Babe we get to rest ngezintsuku..

TshisaLIVE haha popular believes that's democracy popular vote 50%+1

These other religions people are mentioning here are not that accommodative at all. Let's not wish the north curse in mzansi.

There we go again. One flew over coocoos nest!

We're not gonna let them win this battle. We will fight tooth and nail for Christians holidays to remain. The sojourner religions in our country cannot divide and dictate to us.

Stupidity at its best. Maybe it's because she's not gainfully employed 🤔 I do not give a hoot about the reasons behind any holiday as long as I get time off to rest

And then Ntsiki wonders why most people do not like her .... sooo much bitterness. And those who are in support of her are just wasting their tweets, tomorrow she will be against you...

What's her problem...

mphagadk It's not like it is a day off work for Christians only.

mphagadk No one forces anybody to celebrate any holiday, especially Christian holidays. You can go to work if you please. Why complain? The majority of South Africans are Christians, let it be. It hurts no one. Intolerance towards Christians cannot be okay.

Majority rules, Christian are majority in this country, they have every right to have their holidays on a calendar, recently political parties and leaders this Easter weekend were campaigning in churches

I bet she doesn’t work on any of those holidays. Stupid barbarian.

That's not right. That is Luciferian.

I'm with her 💯💯💯 for the first time.

Great do away with christmas holidays and easter holidays ill save so much money

I don’t care what she thinks 🙄

Mxm Ntsiki is such a waste of time! If you are not a Cgristian then just go on about your business period. That is what every non christian will do all over the world! So get over yourself and go work on Christmas day, go do something with your life on easter stop go re tena nxa!

Liphambana eli!

She's wrong, Christians must enjoy their holiday. I believe each an every worker must be entitled to get +3 fully paid holiday for traditional ceremonies. Is not something we can hide anymore, telling your employer that you sick,while you were back home uyosila or usenza izila.

You are indeed a nasty piece of work . The Lord will judge you .

This is a Christian country damnet

If you also replace other religions holidays eg Islam.

Devil's agent

Purhaps call for an introduction of your preferred holiday or recognition and take it easy. If you are challenged Ntsiki and whoever that is calling for the scrapping deal with yourself. Don't want your discomforts to be ours we are okay thanks.

we know where she comes from...

So - she must get lost

The majority of people are Christians in this country.

She’s not my fav person but what she said there 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿. I fully concur.

Always trying to be relevant, this is a Christian country doti

When has she ever been relevant to give a public opinion ? GROW UP!!! Give us real news

English is a universal language and it works on all levels. So if she wants to scrap Christian ' holidays ' does she want to replace it or scrap all public or religious holidays ? I need an answer for this one . Anybody know?

Nobody cares about what she thinks!

Christianity has sadly become the political tool
