South African poet and singer Ntsiki Mazwai has sparked debate with her views on cheating and polygamy.
According to Ntsiki, cheating is a social construct, implying that societal norms and expectations create the concept of cheating rather than any inherent moral or ethical issue.
In a snippet shared on X (previously Twitter) by BlackPolygamy, she expressed support for polygamy, saying that since she turned 40, she no longer demonises polygamy.

She also suggested that it can be a viable and honest alternative to cheating. She further argued that polygamy allows for openness and transparency in relationships, whereas cheating often involves deception and secrecy.
Ntsiki’s comments have generated mixed reactions, with some people agreeing that societal norms around monogamy can be limiting, while others have criticised her views as promoting infidelity and disrespect for traditional relationship structures.
One user said that polygamy would cost her her soul.
No, she is not cooking. She is teaching adultery and whoredom. Believe it or not, polygamy will cost you your soul.

Another one wrote that they do not see a need because whatever a man can do, they can also do it, so there is nothing they can say to justify polygamy.
What holds a man superior to me? -I provide for myself -I can cook clean for myself -i am educated and when I finish college I can start working a high paying job. There is nothing that a man could do for me that would justify polygamy unless the marriage is open for both of us

While others did not agree, others stood by her side. One said it is a social construct.
Agree
It’s a societal construct. I feel this ever more each time I’ve faced cancer, lost all estrogen, breasts removed.
And my “husband” did nothing, when I screamed for my life, a man’s boot on my ear, another breaking my rib, suffocating my air.
Slap me silly and call me a…

Another one said:
Facts. It’s easier to make a villain out of men if they are forced to go against their inherent nature. It’s a construct designed to keep men and women at war in relationships in order to break down the basic building unit of society which is family.
