Ntsiki Mazwai left some Twitter users touched over the weekend when she expressed her opinion of Christianity and Christian holidays being given prominence in South Africa.
The poet, known for her outspoken nature, said she was tired of having the popular religion"forced down her throat".
"I am tired of being oppressed by Christianity. We are not all Christian! Stop forcing it down our throats!" she told her followers on Twitter.went on to question why the SA calendar is saturated with Christian holidays and said that she figures it would be for the best if the country got"rid" of them.
Why must we have Christian public holidays when we are not all Christian? That's crazy! It's oppressive! Stop Christian Supremacy NOW!!!! Get rid of Christian public holidays on national calendarThere is a whatsapp going around saying people must disagree with taking away Christian holidays off our calendar. BUT I AGREE!!!! No the Christians are not more important than African traditions.
One of the debates that sprung from that conversation was around the official language spoken in Mzansi. Ntsiki is of the belief that Zulu should be the official language of South Africa. Even her followers felt that was a bit more complex but she pointed out that it would not prevent other languages from being spoken.
