Controversial dancer Zodwa Wabantu has rubbished claims she’s been banned from performing in Zambia this weekend.
She said she has a contract to perform and that she will be dancing on stage at Hollywood City Nightclub without any underwear.

Zodwa has dominated headlines in Zambia after National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister Reverend Godfridah Sumaili stated that Zodwa was not welcome in the country accusing her of promoting immorality with her raunchy dances.

But Zodwa insists that she has agreed to perform in Zambia this weekend and that she has always been paid R35, 000 booking fee in full. 

Zodwa told South African publication TshisaLIVE that nothing would stop her from performing in the country and slammed “hypocrites” who had labelled her “unchristian.”

“I have signed all the paperwork and I am flying out later this week to perform there. I think that people are just trying to sabotage me and the event. The underwear thing is my choice and I don’t understand why people are so upset. There are Christians who do much worse things behind closed doors.”

She said that authorities were hoping to pray for her and cast out her “demons” while she was in the country.

“I will never wear a panty. I won’t change who I am for them. Maybe they think they will pray for me or make me better.
I survived 2017 and I will survive this year. They can go and f*ck off if they have a problem with it.”

The reports come only months after Zodwa was reportedly banned from performing in Lesotho.

She also cancelled shows in Zimbabwe after an outcry over her scheduled shows in the country, citing security fears.

    • Please come. We have so much pressure here (cholera, fuel, PF)… Maybe a little panty-free raunchy dance will make us forget our problems for the day.

    • Your Minister of Religion made it news…meanwhile Kaizer is dancing in a club with a drink and showing off his Gold Rolex watch!!

    • That woman is ugly, I watched her on YouTube.
      She might even be a lesbian, no “normal” chick can play with puussy in public like that.

    • Some Ministries do not make sense. A country full of corrupt leadership to judge others?? This is hypocrisy and God will punish these fake Zambian leaders. Shame on them. Young Girl go to Zambia and make people happy, they are suffering. They need your little entertainment to let them smile at least.
      Zambia is NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION WE ARE LYING TO OURSELVES. Let’s stop playing with God or abuse office in the name of the Lord.
      Whoever finds her dancing immoral stay at Home and Leave others to Enjoy.

    • @Nostradamus, showing off the nakedness does prove or suggest to be a lesbian. The lady has simply found a way to make money and wherever she is doing that, it is purely on monetary basis. On the other hand, Zambians must stop pretending to be holier and christian and come to reality and accept over cultures and views.

    • YOU DON’T PUBLICISE IT, SO WE DON’T KNOW ABOUT IT. MOREOVER, YOU ARE NOT A CELEBRITY LIKE HER. OBSCENITY IS A CRIME IN ZAMBIA AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES. CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS LADY PERFORMING IN AN ISLAMIC STATE LIKE SAUDI ARABIA?

  1. MADAM MINISTER, WOULD YOU BE COMFORTABLE IN AN UNDERWEAR MADE FROM ANIMAL SKINS OR TREE BARKS? I GUESS YOUR ANSWER SHOULD BE AS GOOD AS ADAM AND EVE’S.

  2. Your Exellency Emmanuel Mwamba ‘SC’ tell Zodwa that we sent back Maimane at the airport, Yubert Angel at the airport, Bushiri also dared the GVT he never showed up. Who is she to come and parade herself NAKED in this country.
    1. I can forsee a situation were she might be sent from the airport
    2. If allowed to perform naked, she will be arrested and charged for Indiscent Exposure later declared a Prohibited Imigrant to this nation.
    Remember Zambia has a sound relationship with South Africa so she has her intergrity to lose.
    Right now I write my wife has chained me to the bed untill this Zodwa issue sorted out.
    Have a good Day…

    • The issue has been resolved. The outcome is that Zodwa is coming for the show in the manner it was originally designed and announced.

    • All prostitutes have nerves. With such insults I will be surprised if she is allowed immigration entry. She is bringing a killer illness listeriosis. Send her back to Zuma

  3. Did she say fuuck off to them if they don’t it.? She is a daughter Jezebel the harlot. Refuse her entry please. Viva Zambia viva

  4. Let this prostitute as Maimane what happened to him when he tried to force entry into Zambia. You will rot on the runway and start stinking without pants

  5. This is no issue, let Zodwa in and those of you who are righteous stay in your homes. I will personally attend her show and be in church with you on Sunday!

  6. Let her perform at kamfinsa for the prisoners overnight, she will never take her underwear off, ever again

  7. Let those that have never seen a naked woman through the first stone at her. I grew up in the village and I had classmates who never wore pants, though not out of choice but the result is the same.

    Let’s go Zodwa Let’s go.

  8. Tuma Zambian Christians shamelessly doing holier than thou again. I’m not going to watch her but let those who wish to enjoy some international thighs feast their eyes.

  9. Zambia is a Christian Nation let us uphold our ethics, Don’t allow Zodwa wabantu in our Country no matter what?. Even if we are all sinners we shouldn’t be accepting evil things.

    • Doctors in the maternity wing see naked women every hour. So what the difference with Zodwa.

  10. She is a mermaid. In the sea there are no things like pants but only scales. That is why she puts on a dress but not a pant.

  11. Did Jesus chase or embrace?
    Our so called christianity always fails the simple test.
    The minister has taken the place of God and is now Judge..
    What is police without crime?
    What is christianity without sinners?
    Let her God Judge her and let your God Judge you

  12. let her in she is our sister, then later speak the word of God to her, then leave it up to God.Do not judge her, we have done pretty worse things than her.Show her love, pay her but dont make her perform.

  13. Penal Code: Section 177. (1) Any person who
    (e) publicly exhibits any indecent show or performance or any show or performance tending to corrupt morals;is guilty of a misdemeanor and is liable to imprisonment for five years or to a fine of not less than fifteen thousand penalty units nor more thanseventy-five thousand penalty units.
    We cannot allow people with such perverse morals to come into this country. Any one who intends to come in and break the law can and should be declared persona non granter.

    • She will be dancing on stage in a dress without wearing her undies, if that turns you on, you’re the one with corrupt and perverse morals and you should be fined or imprisoned instead.

  14. Like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Niki Minaj etc. these women just crave for attention and they know that provocation is the best way to get it. If it was a man though, he would get arrested and charged same time for indecent exposure and behavior leading to public agitation.

  15. We say Zambia is a christian nation why is the Zambian govt allowing her to come and what benefit is it going to give the country. and when we take it biblical its not advisable so am pleading for the Ministry of religious affairs to look into the matter for national guidance

  16. More serious issues to take care of…. Forget zodwa. Ngati ulimbe Ndalama to watch zodwa…Stay home!! Tuma holier than thou twaboza

  17. I won’t waste time arguing on the pros or cons of Zodwa coming (oh, oh, oh, oooooohhhhhh) What I cannot fathom is why we have a resource wasting ministry (religion and guidance) and the hypocrisy and ‘holier than thou’ behaviour – both from the leaders and community at large. Zambia is a morally pretentious country – in practice, essentially a pagan country.

  18. She speaks, sings and dances the naked truth. Hypocrites in sack cloth are nakedly shameless. Challenged to do so, none of them is able to throw the first stone.

  19. Most so called Zambian Christians have “secrete sins” that are far worse than her open prostitution. The last person i want to trust is a hypocritical loud mouthed Christian, they are snakes!

  20. She will be representing HH’s second home or is it first home? That is where his supporters who he is trying to sell ziko to come from! (Some). His MPs also go there and usually boycott parliament at home to attend “parliament” in RSA because it is near Namwala.

  21. Olo more directly like Maimane, who was simply kept on the plane when Zambian authorities rejected him as h.h’s contraband. Immigration is one area where you can’t argue not only in Zambia even in USA, London, Paris etc. If you try to argue they will simply label you as a terrorist and use their extra powers.

  22. This so-called Sharon has an obsessive itch for HH. All reactions to any story have a mention of HH. How are we to resolve this itch?

  23. Is this the way will celebrate women’s day by letting a woman dance in public without her underwear? Wake up women of Zambia, what does this women what to show your men on your day?
