Zodwa Wabantu’s Dancing

Zodwa had been dancing for quite some time before she became a national celebrity. Her moves proved popular at Durban’s Eyadini hangout spot, which she discovered as she was doing her house leasing business in Durban.

“I then became a regular at Eyadini hangout spot because of my love for good music and dance. I am now part of the Eyadini family. I don’t depend on a man financially, but I’m pushing for a better life for myself and my 11-year-old son, Vuyo,” she told the Daily Sun.

Her skimpy dressing during dance routines has made her a controversial figure. She is however not apologetic.

“I am not looking for fame and for me to wear my black dress showing my assets was an act of embracing my freedom. I went to the Durban July to work and I didn’t go there for publicity or to pose for pictures. Eyadini had a marquee and I had to look after our clients.”

In 2017, Zodwa was banned from performing in Zimbabwe by their minister of tourism and hospitality.
