Zodwa Wabantu: I Will Never Lighten My Skin Complexion

For an entertainer who is not shy to undergo cosmetic procedures, Zodwa Wabantu has denied claims that she is addicted to surgery and will not stop.

The dancer and reality TV star has so far undergone a cosmetic procedure to tighten and improve her privates, a non-surgical breast lift, fat burning injections in her stomach and thighs, and most recently a procedure to reduce cellulite and stretch marks.

However, one ‘improvement’ that has evaded the controversy-courting dancer is skin lightening.

South African celebrities like Mshoza and Khanyi Mbau have lightened their skin complexions, and fans have somehow always expected Zodwa to be next.

Speaking to Tshisa Live, Zodwa has said that changing her skin color is not on the table. She said that all her procedures have not been about changing her body, but about highlighting her natural features.

“I don’t think it is a huge procedure that I got done. Like in the past, I am not all about beauty, I don’t put on weaves or make-up, so I am not changing anything about myself. I’m just showing everyone that if I have cellulite or stretch marks, I will fix it.”

“I have a mokhaba (fat belly) now and as a dancer, I cannot have that. I am only trying to firm up so that I look good on stage when I am performing.”

“I am not fixing my hairline or anything major. I am just firming up. Just like one would take their company car for service, I have to take my legs and my a** in for a service, so that they are in shape.”

Effectively, Zodwa ruled out going the route of Khanyi and others. Only time will tell whether she sticks to this accord.
