Former journalist and anti-apartheid activist Thami Mazwai has distanced himself and his wife from a scathing open letter written by his daughter Ntsiki to president Cyril Ramaphosa.

Thami said he was"disappointed and shocked" at his daughter's letter which accused Ramaphosa of among others"appeasing the white master" and"putting money ahead of your own people".

"I doff my hat to the President for his resolute action to save us from this pandemic, and my thanks to the Cabinet and civil service who are working day and night to stop this virus.” She accused Ramaphosa of being unable to rationalize his own wealth as he became a billionaire in a poverty-stricken country without creating anything.

"Your white solutions are not going to work on African people. We do not have equal footing. Lucky you, 21 days will do NOTHING to your livelihood, for the vast majority of us Africans, this 21days is the difference between making ends meet and bankruptcy," Ntsiki wrote.

My goodness girl. You are anything but disadvantaged. Spoilt rotten for sure. Sympathy to your parents. Why don't you go out, socialise and infect your 'white masters' together with 1000s innocent people?

Some people here u can tell ny their comments they did not read the letter but they have data to tweet as for we know who’s agenda u pushing voetsek

Ntsiki the Hero,papa a Zero.

Shocking? Niyanya nina

TshisaLIVE she's in the league with the likes of Mngxitama so she must be booked for mental observations

Stupid armchair critic with no solution

No its not shocking and disappointing. She was very respectful to the president. And everything she said is spot on. I dont think he deserves once ounce of respect

When one nailed it,white media is trying to search relevance Tsek

I think she is high on something

Kodwa Ntsiki maar wenza kakhulu ngoku, a abeva abantu🔥

She is on point

TimeLIVE, She knows what she is talking about wow! I love her massage(solid)I hope that Africans are open minded now. We can't hide things under carpet, act like we are fine and feigning while we suffering as Citizens of this country. Amandla Tsiki.!!😥✊✊✊

Why do ppl give her that attention cos she's totally not good upstairs she may have her personal issues with her innerself🤔🤔🤔

Post apartheid heroes like julius malema

Now they’re mad at her for exposing the truth, they won’t search for substance in the truth 🙌🏽

Leadership we love you Girl

😳 wtf so she’s not suppose to voice her opinion, konjwa vele you’re captured will do anything to protect Ramaphosa

Ntsiki Mazwai is just a twisted person who does not know where she is.

Wa puta, get attention somewhere else

She's a citizen isn't she? So...?

It's the truth thou

Lady, your unfound statements are boring, racist, untrue and generalistic. Please go and look for attention somewhere else!!!!

She was telling nothing but the truth.

That likes attention. Yes we are now giving her that attention. If there's something better she can do is to minimize the risk of covid19 and stop her lousy allegations then come up with solutions with the issue on hand

Ntsiki raised important truths, of course the kind that white monopoly capital will not want to hear about. TimesLive forms part of white monopoly capital hence they're shocked!

It the truth mos

Its not the time for name and fame. The president should be applauded for the stance taken against Corona saga that has taken a lot of lives in the world. Apartheid died decades ago ignorance and ARROGANCE has taken over for name and fame. Support every good for the short life on

Not a time for her bullsht attention seeking

Hats off to Ntsiki Mazwai o support and totally agree with you...Viva Amandla 1👊👏👏🙏🤝

What's uncalled for its for media house to get an opinion from the Father rather than Ntsiki herself. That letter is very much relevant and raises important questions.

As if Cyril will change......

She is simply telling the truth of her generation sir

It must be nice to have so much power as media people. Whatever you say, parrots hold on to it for dear life as I've noted some already! Let Ntsiki be

Nonsense I agree with ntsiki ramaphosa is doing nothing they talk about billions in donations but there's no testing going on like we waited for the virus to come here we will again wait for bodies to start dropping while ntsiki dad disownes his daughter to kiss ass sies

Already doctors in SA are affected by the Virus, Only when CoronaVirus start killing people like chickens in SA that’s when she will see how stupid she is....

So why give her any media coverage?

Nsiki is right she expressed her opinion SA is a democratic country.Her parents have their own views its also fine I don't see the fuss about this letter.The only problem is ppl do not like the truth.Way to go Nsiki express yourself more women should copy you.

This is nyaope talking

The beauty of democracy is that people can freely raise their views and opinions and as a democratic leader sometimes you have to make decisions that are not politically correct but necessarily to save lives.

Disappointing for who? Who nominated you to decide for us? O sa re nyela

Interesting how the ult left designs rules that cause them to always be able to claim a win. You shoot off your mouth. If people agree, it show's that you're right. If people disagree, blame it on WMC & white masters, and claim it proves you're still right. Nifty.

Just another racist rant blaming whites, WMC and the west for everything, and yet with the Black middle class now double the number of the white middle class in SA she takes no responsibility or ownership of the state of SA as an African, easier to blame the whitey's STILL!

So what is her improved proposals? I can't find it anywhere. I have noticed that 2 dudes who are often cursed as being part of the mythical WMC, each contributed R1bn. I thought that's a positive.

You're disappointing and uncalled for.

Amidst the bronzer, she looks sick! Are you well dear? Stay away from lemon/lime even a garnish

ntsikimazwai is a boring poet no-one will pay to listen...tries to stay relevant by being controversial 🥱🥱🥱

At a time when he is going through yet another tough time. He was given a country on the brink of collapse just to be hit with this virus and now some little girl harps on about Marikana 9 years ago. And all he said was stricter action should be taken as ppl already lost lives.

She's always like this,I swear the girl is cursed hhayi,I once told her to seek help from traditional healers she blocked me

If her goal is seeking attention she has it not in droves.

No lie detected to her statement I wonder what makes media cry a foul play on her. She highlighted something very crucial. To add salts to the wound of the president can we take over those shop own by foreigners and give to our mothers and their daughters who lost their bread 😭

Im trying to get a point in what ever she utters but im astonished by her insight regarding economic? How ever i want to pose a question only 3 days lock down has taken place.. What about public holiday that are on Friday does such frustration occurs?

What's shocking about the letter, why does the media always have to disregard truth as shocking why can't you let people read and think for themselves

T NTSIKI SHE IS RIGHT👍👍👍

We support Ntsiki she is right we have seen it poor ones are affected by this lockdown move around and u will see sad and hungry faces in the streets l promise you he knows he meets them at his neighborhood in Hydepark that's the truth.. he doesn't have mercy

Wow

Ntsiki is right. Its only a couple of questions that need answers.. stop discrediting her and understand what she wrote.. and get her the answers...

If You Speak the Truth You Stand Alone.........

Ntsiki is an attention seeker but her letter was spot on👌

There's nothing disappointing about this letter Tuu. Every Black African leader who has compassion over his fellow African brothers and sisters would have thought about the situation poor people before making a decision that will be favourable to his white masters. She is right

Igwala kulonyoko!!!! Banyise Ntsiki

Poor little racist girl is really struggling to remain relevant

Ntsiki she is spot on there we have raised the same question since the president adress the nation he didn't say anything about the poor in this lockdown some they don't even work no income some they work once a week this benefits him and the rich

Why criticise when you can't evèn provide a better solution Disruptive critic !! You're swimming in dad's popularity trying to make a name for yourself..... Just write one good poem that will make us all proud of you. Forget politics, it is not for haters like you.

She’s talking trash of ppl who doesn’t vote at all ,I’m not disappointed it’s like her ,foolishness personified in everything she writes always,attention seeker...

Ao. Many people have previously written open letters to Zuma and y’all never said it’s uncalled for. It is well within her rights to express her own opinions. Nxa. To hell with you Timelive

Desperado

She didn't mention the R1billion each donation to the poor of SA by the Oppenheimer and Rupert families. White people stepped up to help the poor. Be grateful instead of whinning.

Ntsiki Mazwai be making people 🤣🤣🤣

This tells that she has a point

Yey' the Oledi next to my house is a street vendor, she says she had brought all her stock left on Thursday and now all her stock is messed up and ready to be thrown away. What then must she do to make her ends meet? While WMC big chains stay open. Doesn't make sense.

Everything in that letter is doable in a Country that has discipline. Unfortunately South Africa is NOT that country.

It’s facts

The laddy has a popularity problem.. She was afraid that shell be forgotten.. She just want to remind us that she still exist

We are not disappointed, we are happy with her action.

Bageza izandla abazali....mmhh

It is interesting to see that Ntate Mazwai distancing himself to his daughter’s letter. Ntsiki is an adult and her father can’t be responsible for her actions. The question should be: Is there any truth in what Ntsiki said? Sadly, she has hit the nail on the head. The truth hurts

'Shocking' for who ? Piss off

Nothing shocked me on the letter. But maybe to you

Ntate Mazwai sits on BEE advisory council, for years. The council mandate is to advise President in transformation, reforms and redress policies. How dare you ntsiki, what are you saying about my job. Are you saying I failed? Stop it right now.

Can’t cure stupid !

Proud of this lady for once - finally some good sense coming out of her! No amount of skewed reporting is gonna change our minds, she spoke what most of us have been observing for a minute - ntsikimazwai well done!

What exactly must happen...must we let the virus kill off half our population?

TshisaLIVE no it's not shocking and there's nothing disappointing about it

This is nt time for politics,is time to safe the World 🌍

Does she even realize that this lockdown is an international initiative recommended by WHO’s Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus and African who has an African chief advisor. It might be a challenge to implement at initial stages but will learn from it. She is so shallow.

She's right that this lockdown is rough for a large percentage of South Africans but she's missing the longterm play here - if the virus spreads to the townships, it will DESTROY them. What's worse?

Our own uncle (in a family event) in the form of a woman!! She does all the odd for south african!! After that she is known for that!!

Stick to poetry and let the adults make hard and maybe unpopular decisions to keep people safe. They are not concerned with getting more Twitter followers. By attacking the lockdown YOU have made money more important than the safety of people.

The truth hurts sometimes.

May she talk less and act more.

I saw facts in that letter

Why are you shocked Sir? Obviously this media news paperwork will hunter you and will want you to be against your own blood to defend CR17. She spoke truthful and pointed out the reality,why be shocked of that Sir? Our president is not interested in us as South Africans.

I second her. People are hungry, they have no food no transport to take them to the shops, taxs are not making profit. Tsiki I support you 100

Now nobody can tell the truth, sanusinya😩

Critising Ntsiki reveals how people are ignorant about the ineguality in our country and they just don't care about the poor

She must have touched the nerve 🤪

There are valid points in her letter though.

She is right, president did not care about the poor in his 'plan', our country is a capitalist state that feed on people ingnorance, fear and social distress. we need people like her, she is a bold leader

Drama kuGal

The fact that Toxix WMC Media are already mobilizing to discredit Ntsiki is proof that the letter os pro-People and is spot on...

Pls stop entertaining idiots

Publicity seeking.

Thami, she is no longer your daddy's girl, she make her own Decision,

Why is it so important what daddy thinks? Smdh 🤔

There really is nothing shocking there.

ntsikimazwai just saw an opportunity to seek attention that's all... how can a normal person say she's not scared of Corona virus while we've seen the damage this virus in countries like USA with their rich economy? She must sit down.

I wonder why is she always given attention?
