  Lebo Keswa Defends Ntsiki Mazwai Amid Asset Seizure Threat: "Justice System Unfair"

Podcaster Lebo Keswa has publicly supported controversial poet Ntsiki Mazwai after a court ruled in favor of DJ Euphonik's defamation case, potentially leading to the seizure of Mazwai's assets. The move has divided Mzansi, with Keswa calling the judgment unjust.

The Court Ruling

In February 2025, Ntsiki Mazwai lost a defamation lawsuit filed by DJ Euphonik over past social media comments. Reports indicate the court granted a writ of execution, meaning Mazwai’s assets—including property and valuables—could be auctioned to cover damages.

Lebo Keswa’s Defense

Keswa took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam the ruling, urging Mazwai not to justify herself:

"This doesn’t make sense to me. I believe you, and you’ve been compromised enough. The system is sickening."
She argued that Mazwai merely retweeted existing public discourse rather than originating defamatory claims.

Mixed Reactions from Mzansi

Social media erupted with debate:

• Supporters: "The law is unjust. Powerful people exploit it." (@StKijiko)

• Critics: "She inserted herself into the drama—now faces consequences." (@kkhumalo)

• Legal Realists: "The law is the law. Social media isn’t a free pass." (@Snowball3nd)

Broader Context

Mazwai recently apologized to Minister Gayton McKenzie after a separate dispute over a Cuba artist delegation.

• The case highlights tensions between free speech and accountability in SA’s digital age.

Final Thought:
While Keswa frames this as systemic bias, critics see it as a cautionary tale about online accountability. The outcome may set a precedent for social media defamation cases.
