Controversial dancer Zodwa Wabantu’s age shocks SA

‘Are cosmetic surgeries failing her?’ Zodwa Wabantu is trending against the backdrop of her birthday, but how old is she?

Controversial entertainer Zodwa Wabantu took to social media to celebrate her birthday.

Zodwa Wabantu turned a year old, and Mzansi quickly flooded her social media feeds with warm birthday wishes.

ZODWA WABANTU’S AGE REVEALED

She has undoubtedly been busy and booked lately. Since her thrust into the limelight, she has performed worldwide but has received her fair criticism.

She has been banned from performing in some countries, including Zimbabwe. Thanks to her huge social media following, she often trends whenever she posts or gets posted.

The star dancer took to social media to reveal that she was celebrating her birthday in a now-viral video. Zodwa Wabantu captioned the post, “Ngiphezu Kwenu. Home celebrating belated birthday 9 October.”

Against the post, fans and fellow celebrities quickly flooded her comments with warm birthday wishes.

However, against the post, The South African has since connected the dots about her age. Over the years, she has kept her age under wraps, leaving many to guess.

Zodwa Wabantu was born on 9 October 1985 in Soweto, South Africa. Her post seemingly rubbished claims that she was born on 30 October, as several tabloids alleged.

Some find it puzzling that Zodwa Wabantu is 39 years old.

Social media users were more than convinced that cosmetic surgeries were failing her big time since she had failed to maintain her youthful looks despite going under the knife for picture-perfect looks on several occasions.

BUSINESS PORTFOLIO
Over the years, Zodwa Wabantu has wowed many thanks to her business empire. She reportedly has a few apartments which she rents out to tenants.

In 2019, she took to social media to announce her poultry business. Against the launch, actress Ntando Duma was the first celebrity to show her support.

In 2020, she launched a beauty line and her premium cider, Zodwa Wabantu Premium Cider.

In 2021, she rolled out Zodwa Wabantu Chicken & Eggs. She also added Zodwa Wabantu’s Undertakers Mortuary to her colourful business portfolio.

She once revealed opening a hair salon in Richards Bay in 2021.

“Woman loves looking beautiful; while they’ve told me that I’m ugly, I’m not pretty, so I’m showing them that anyone can buy beauty, so they have to buy it from me.

“So they must stop forcing me to wear make-up or to do weaves… the salon is for them,” she said.
