South African poet, Ntsiki Mzwai has revealed an important information about her family.
However, most of the South African celebrities always try to avoid talking about their personal life on social media but Ntsiki decided to do otherwise.
The star took to her social media to spill out her family tree.
She revealed that her great great grandfather was a white Scottish man.
She said: “It’s my great great grandfather actually…..he is one of the Scottish guys who married a Xhosa woman their daughter Catherine was mixed and gave birth to my grandmother in Mqanduli. My moms mom.”
Ntsiki had first tweeted that her aunt had told her that her great great grandmother was white but later on corrected her statement and revealed that it was actually her great great grandfather that was white.

With this, she jokingly said: “So THAT’S why I’m good at swimming”
In another subsequent tweet she also revealed that she felt traumatized about the whole situation, clearly Mazwai who is often speaks out on issues such as white privilege did not expect to have a white ancestor.
The poet wrote: “I’m so traumatized”
I’m so traumatized
