Prince Kaybee has called out controversial social media personality Ntsiki Mazwai over her tweet mocking the new Miss SA, Mia Le Roux.
Ntsiki has come under fire after she ridiculed pageant organisers for crowning a white woman. This, following her criticism that former finalist Chidimma Adetshina was trolled over concerns and questions over her nationality.
Mia, the first deaf woman to win Miss SA, was crowned in a glittering ceremony over the weekend. Nompumelelo Maduna and Onalenna Constantin were named her runners-up.
PRINCE KAYBEE LABELS NTSIKI MAZWAI ‘RACIST’ OVER MISS SA POST
Following Mia Le Roux’s crowning, Ntsiki Mazwai tweeted a picture of the new Miss SA with the caption: “Is this what you wanted? Well done, nigxothe umntu omnyama for umlungu! [fire a black woman for a white woman]”.
In another tweet, she posted: “All the black contestants DESERVED to lose. They watched another black girl be bullied and kept quiet!”

Responding to the controversial tweets, Prince Kaybee – who has also come under fire for defending Chidimma Adetshina against criticism, tweeted: “What a racist post.”
Prince Kaybee also retweeted a post that praised Mia Le Roux’s win as a “step towards inclusivity” and a “milestone for representation, especially with the stigma surrounding people with disabilities.”
GAYTON DEFENDS MIA LE ROUX
Minister of Sport, Art, and Culture Gayton McKenzie has also praised Mia Le Roux amid racial tensions surrounding the Miss SA pageant.
He tweeted over the weekend: “We don’t have a White Miss South Africa, a Black Springbok Captain, or a Colored Banyana Banyana coach. We see them as South Africans.
He added: “We have adopted reconciliation as our North Star guided by our Father Nelson Mandela. You will come around; I did!”
