Young, strong-spirited and "got opinion", 24-year-old Ntsiki Mazwai has performed her own work at many hi-profile gigs, but says one of the highlights of her poetry career thus far was to be part of the 10th anniversary presidential inauguration poetry act, where she shared the stage with poetry greats Don Mattera, Lebo Mashile and Mac Manaka. She was chosen from a pool of over 5 000 entrants to be part of the Scamto Groundbreakers TV series, as part of which she travelled to the USA to represent South African poetry. She is part of the all-women, much-loved, Feela Sistah Spoken Word collective. She has been published in Don Mattera's souvenir book for 10 years of democracy. Her works can also be seen in the Timbila Special Edition. Outside of her poetry she runs a fashion label called House of MOBU, where she sells her exclusive beadwork range. Kuphando olwenziwa nyaka ngamnye eMerika, kufumaniseke ukuba abantu abaphantse babe yi-250 000 baxhatshazwa ngokwesondo. Isiqingatha sabo siphakathi kweminyaka eyi-12 neyi-18.
