Less than a week after claiming that she was raped by a well-known musician, Ntsiki Mazwai has told fans that she is being emotionally abused by a family member who is making her life a "living hell".
"Nobody is hearing my cry. Everybody keeps quiet as he hurls abuse...He does it every day. Swears at me every day. Accuses me of things I haven't done just so he can express his rage at me," she wrote on Instagram.
She alleged that other family members turn a blind eye to the situation.
"Patriarchy is a deep and difficult problem we face as a society, in our families. It is a vile disease that make the men in our homes a danger to us," she added.
Interacting with a fan, Ntsiki claimed that the situation was "toxic" and got so bad she had to speak out.
"Why do you think I'm now shouting loud for the world. I have murderous thought. He is so foul and disgusting. Undithuka (insulting me) every single day. It’s so toxic," she said, in response to a fan's own tale of abuse.
When contacted by TshisaLIVE Ntsiki asked for privacy on the matter.
