Ntsiki Mazwai, the acclaimed poet and fearless social commentator, recently took to Twitter on August 2, 2023, to deliver a series of stinging remarks aimed at Penuel, despite her past appearance on his show. The unexpected turn of events occurred as Mazwai openly critiqued the perceived impacts of attending private schools.
Surprising many, Mazwai had previously appeared on Penuel's show just 33 weeks ago, where she even took a picture with him. The caption read, " We disagree on a lot of things but it's still love.....the black pen 🖋️". However, her recent Twitter remarks seemed to signal a significant shift in her stance towards him.
Mazwai's cutting sarcasm commenced with a jab at private schools, suggesting that they must have a special curriculum for students like Penuel, where they are taught they are "different from other blacks" and are conditioned to believe that associating with "rich whites" elevates their social standing.
She didn't stop there. Mazwai went on to mock the perceived danger faced by individuals like Penuel once they exit their privileged private school bubbles and are rudely awakened to the reality of their own blackness. The biting irony of the situation was hard to miss, as she suggested that such a revelation might be a shocking surprise for those accustomed to the predominantly white world.
Penuel suffers from a psychological condition that comes from going to private schools....you get taught that you're different from other blacks...and since you're with rich whites you believe it....

The danger is after leaving the Pvt school and realizing you're black.
Mazwai didn't hold back when she touched on the deep-seated aversion to relating to black people, which she linked to Penuel's psychological condition. With a hint of scorn, she pointed out how some individuals might have sporadic access to the world of "rich white peers", but are left desperate for acceptance due to their exclusion from this elite circle without an invitation.
Taking her critique to a personal level, Mazwai likened Penuel to a forlorn child yearning for an absent father who never shows up, highlighting what she perceived as his desperate quest for validation and acceptance, even if it meant pursuing an illusory sense of belonging.
In a final and particularly stinging remark, Mazwai highlighted the supposed naivety of those who have attended private schools by asserting that Penuel's situation is a common psychological condition among their alumni. She underscored her point by stating that these individuals eventually come to a groundbreaking realization: they are "just like the other blacks", despite once believing in their exceptionalism.
The Twitterverse erupted in response to Mazwai's scathing remarks, with some reminding her of their past encounter on Penuel's show. While her previous message of love and disagreement still lingered in her 33-week-old post, it seemed that her recent Twitter tirade reflected a different sentiment altogether. As the debate unfolded, readers and audiences were left contemplating the complexities of human relationships and the ever-changing dynamics of public personas.
