Controversial activist and poet Ntsiki Mazwai got tongues wagging on Twitter when she asked “black women” why they aspire to be fake, hinting at their physical appearance.
Mazwai wrote: “Dear black woman. Why is your aspiration to be fake? To look like ANYTHING but yourself?? What's wrong?”

Why is your aspiration to be fake? To look like ANYTHING but yourself??
What's wrong?
Her post had followers in agreement and sparked conversation about “looks, hair and skin bleaching”.

It didn’t take too long before she fired another statement, telling people who felt “unhappy with what they look like “that they are “lame”.
There is nothing as unattractive as someone unhappy with what they look like..... It's so lame.

Earlier this Women’s month, Mazwai also shared her thoughts on gay people.
She wrote: “Being a gay man does not qualify you to be a woman, You’re a gay man. That's that. Please stop trying to erase us. 🙏🏿”

Her tweet sparked a heated conversation on Twitter. And she seems to have done it once again with her latest tweet.
