Ntsiki Mazwai fans have been saying for years that her opinions and often controversial views deserve a TV show and in 2019, Moja Love answered that call but not everyone is happy with it.

Although she didn't point fingers, Ntsiki told Twitter followers that following the exciting  news that she bagged the presenter gig on Moja Love's Show Me Love, she has been dealing with some inside "drama".

"You know what's tricky for me at work? Half of them love me and the other(s) hate me and for me, it's about figuring out who is who in my zoo," Ntsiki said.

She added that it's been one of her lessons so far about the "work environment" but she  was learning, even if it was at a faster pace.

"Ok noted. Akere I've never been in a work environment before so I'm having to learn a lot quickly."

As much as Ntsiki has an army of supporters, who are always ready to stand by her, her views have also seen her become one of the most "controversial" media personalities and that has earned her some enemies.

The poet herself revealed that she was apparently one of the original names "nominated" to present the show in it's first season.

However, that didn't work out because she was rejected... only for the door to open for her later.

However the excitement to "officially" begin her work on the small screen was evident in her tweets and she encouraged fans to get ready for real conversations with the girls.
