Fans of Mark Pilgrim have severely reprimanded Ntsiki Mazwai after she implied that the ill radio host was “racist.”
This, after reporting that the veteran actor, who is presently battling stage four lung cancer, had blocked her.
While many Twitter users have offered Mark prayers and well wishes, Ntsiki Mazwai attempted to upset the apple cart by attacking the ailing celebrity.
In a tweet made over the weekend, the former host of Moja Love disclosed that she had been blocked by a popular radio personality by sharing a screenshot.
She wrote in a tweet that has since been deleted, “Oh, I wonder what I did to Mark Pilgrim? Let me attend to my own affairs.”
However, Ntsiki seemed uninterested in her business and claimed that the move was ethnically motivated.
She responded obliquely, “…he is obviously one of the white individuals offended by my anti-racism stance.”
Then, Ntsiki released a series of cryptic tweets that alluded to popular figures.
One of the tweets stated, “Dear black people. Some of the white superstars for whom you twirl are racists.”
“Be ashamed of yourself,” tweeted @Overbullcrap. He is battling for his life in order to provide for his family, whilst you are more concerned with playing the race card. Sies guy. I pray you will never have to face a battle like this man and so many others.”
“Stop trying to gain attention by tweeting about a man fighting for his life,” said @gatvolofshit. He has done more for the citizens of this nation than you can ever do. Don’t make assumptions if you don’t know him; he’s a fantastic human being. Disgusting!”
“When you are not famous and must somehow utilize cancer to attract attention. Just Sad”
@GarethCraig2: “Can’t wait until you have the same situation so we can humiliate you. Despicable. Ultimately, narcissists like yourself crave this attention.”
@vuyo53: “Do not speak evil of the dying or those on their deathbed. You wish them well for future battles”
