Ntsiki Mazwai speaks on how she would like to be remembered

South African musician and poet Ntsiki Mazwai has opened up about how she would like to be remembered when she dies. 

The musician would like her legacy that she would leave behind to be centred around how she encourages self-expression on her platform  

Taking to her Twitter timeline the poet said she wanted to be remembered as a public figure who helped many speak their truth with no fear.

“When I die … I want you to remember me for helping you express yourselves fully without fear or favour. I want you to remember me for making you open up emotionally to difficult topics.”

Ntsiki is known for speaking up on social justice issues. 

While speaking to Newzroom Afrika, the activist explained she felt her voice was necessary in the justice system and hoped corporate companies would back activists in their attempts to bring about change.

“South Africa is in a dangerous position at the moment where the justice system works more in favour for perpetrators than it does for victims, or for voices that speak for victims.” she said.

“I believe women and there is nothing anyone can ever do to take away my conviction and my voice from women who need my voice. I understand my voice is audible, I understand my voice is powerful and I understand I should not abuse that power, but I also understand there are women out there who need me to use my voice,” she said during her interview.
