Babalwa Mneno has a few things to get off her chest following a shady tweet Ntsiki Mazwai posted about Bonang Matheba.
Ntsiki caused an uproar on Twitter this week when she claimed Bonang did not really own her luxury sparkling wine brand, House of BNG.
She insinuated that Bonang was just the face of the brand.
“Believing Bonang owned the wine was like believing she owned Revlon …….. She is just the marketing gimmick to sell these products. Not the owner,” Ntsiki tweeted.

Black people don't own anything becuase they hail the fronting blacks and call it excellence…..

This is not black excellence…. It's greed and selfishness.

Babalwa defends Bonang
It is not the first time the controversial poet has taken a swipe at Bonang and we doubt it will be the last.
While Bonang prefers to “blue tick” Ntsiki, Babalwa has had enough. She says Ntsiki is still having nightmares about Bonang ten years later.
“Yohhhhh hai she must rest hleng,” she commented on an Instagram post.
Babalwa says whether Bonang owns her brand or is a “marketing gimmick”, she is still making money.
She adds that some marketing gimmicks can make you more money than owning your own business.
“Has Ntsiki gimmicked for anything… Or rather yena does she own anything? I’d rather cash in 2-5 million being a gimmick than cash nothing because I can’t own it.”
Babalwa told Ntsiki that she must go see a traditional healer.
“This bondage of trying to fetch Bonang is disturbing! Borderline obsessed. Hai sisi xola!”
She also called Ntsiki a “useless loser”.
