Controversial South African poet Ntsiki Mazwai remembers the late Charlotte Maxeke, who would have been celebrating her birthday yesterday if she was to be alive.
There is doubt Charlotte Maxeke was one of Ntsiki’s role model growing up. Charllotte was a very strong feminine activist who played a key role in dismantling patriarchy in South Africa.
Charlotte Maxeke is was also the first black woman in South Africa to get a university degree.
Taking to her Twitter account, Ntsiki shared a photo of herself near the great woman’s tomb as she went to visit her to wish her a happy birthday.
Captioning her post the singer wrote: “Happy birthday mama wethu…… Celebrating defiant women who go against patriarchy#CharlotteMaxekeDay”

Ntsiki has recently found herself in hot waters after former 94.7 presenter DJ Euphoniks drag her to court after breaching the court order he filed against her during his rape saga.
According to Sundays World, the DJ applied for a court interdict at the Johannesburg High Court to stop Ntsiki from tweeting about him and calling him a rapist and abuser.
Ntsiki, along with several other South Africans, urged entertainers not to book Euphoniks, who goes by the real name Themba for any show. This was after DJ Black Coffee booked him for his birthday using his real name Themba hoping that no one will recognize it as him.
Many social media users got riled up by Black Coffee’s action including Ntsiki who had a field day with them. Euphonik was left enraged and had to take certain measures to shutdown Ntsiki.
In a series of tweets Ntsiki wrote: “Apparently, Ntsiki tweeted “If you wanna see the other rapists, watch who is rallying behind other rapists. When DJs put each other on the line-ups, it’s like an invitation to a rapethe- groupies party.”
“And you will rally and clap hands like a bunch of monkeys who can’t tell right from wrong. A gig with predators and violent men in the line-up. Nice.”
This, along with several other tweets, led Euphonicks to ask Ntsiki to delete them because it tarnishes his image and portrays him as a low moral person. Ntsiki didn’t listen, which has forced the DJ hands to bring her to books.
