Poet Ntsiki Mazwai, who said people should learn to be themselves.

OUTSPOKEN poet and musician Ntsiki Mazwai wants people to be themselves.

She has urged South Africans not to care what others say about them.

The 43-year-old artist, who is known for her outspoken views, spoke about her life in the spotlight since stepping into the limelight with her hit song Urongo.

Although Ntsiki is a sister of famous singers Thandiswa and Nomsa Mazwai, she said it hasn't been easy and she had always remained herself.

She said all her experiences in the entertainment industry have led to her podcast called Moya, to which she currently devotes most of her time.

In true Ntsiki's style, the podcast is known for its thought-provoking dialogue and diverse guests who tackle spirituality, politics and popular culture.

She said that as a poet, she has made a smooth transition to the podcast.

"I am a poet. My journey started on stage as a spoken word artist and if you remember, I used to blog a lot," he said.

She said she believed she was in the right place.

"I think the podcast journey is a perfect fit for my gift because it’s my gift to be a storyteller, so I'm perfectly positioned right now," she said.

Ntsiki was among the people who were slammed and talked about negatively on social media.

"We all need to learn not to care what people say about us. As long as you feel good about yourself and know what you are doing in the world, that's all that matters. People need to learn to listen to their inner voice and tune out everyone else," she said.



She said she will be celebrating the one-year anniversary of her podcast in February 2024.

“I'm so excited. We're going to celebrate the journey building Moya and hope to get even bigger and better and have conferences and events in the new year,” she said.
