Minnie Dlamini is in big trouble on Twitter #BantuKnots
Local actress and television host, Minnie Dlamini found herself on the incorrect side of Twitter on Tuesday night due to hair.
The sports presenter caught smoke for labeling black hair as “ghetto”. Using her social media platforms, Mrs. Jones posted pictures of herself wearing Bantu knots with the caption: “I can go from lady to ghetto during a second #BantuKnots.
People on Instagram let her be, but on Twitter, they wouldn’t let it slide when she said: “Just because it’s ghetto, doesn’t mean it’s not fabulous. Loving my #BantuKnots
Nokubonga Martins replied to Minnie’s tweet by saying: “There is nothing ghetto about this hairstyle, Minnie. It’s your hair. Your natural hair that doesn’t make it ghetto.”

Another Twitter user, Amahle Ngcobo said: “Umhle (you’re beautiful) Minnie as always but please take care to not classify our African hair and hairstyle as a ghetto in your huge platforms. There could be black girls who are still struggling to like their natural hair and seeing it being labeled as ghetto won’t do them good. I really like you though.”

We feed into racism and hair discrimination when we say things like this. Absolutely nothing is ghetto about natural black hair styles – whether that’s Bantu knots, locs, braids, etc. We need to destroy this notion. https://t.co/gnkUvT3vq8
