Johannesburg - When they say change is as good as a holiday, they are probably talking about Ntsiki Mazwai.
The outspoken poet and musician has found a new lease on life in the heart of the Eastern Cape.
It all really started when Ntsiki grew tired of schooling people on Twitter, and instead chose to do her masters studies at Rhodes University in Grahamstown.
I am moving to Granhamstown for 1yr ♥

Before we knew it, political tweets on her timeline soon began to be slowly replaced with more statuses about her new digs, warming food without a microwave and whether she should speak to her neighbours about their loud music.
She now spends more of her time doing research and organising political discussions on campus.
And her music career has also taken off, with Ntsiki launching a month end soul sessions.
It seems, like a politician during floor crossing, Ntsiki has found a new lease on life. And hundreds of local celebs are hoping that means there's a chance of a little less shade from her now.
