Zodwa Wabantu is one of the most infamous socialites on the African continent.
The South African made a name for herself by not wearing any panties at public functions.
In September 2017, the regime of former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe banned Zodwa Wabantu from performing in Harare because of her anti-panties stand.
For starters, Zodwa earns a living from hosting parties in clubs and at other major showbiz events.
A few days ago, a video emerged showing randy men sneaking their hands into Zodwa Wabantu’s nether regions while she was performing in the club.
The controversial nudist did little to stop the male fans who were groping her genitals, she went on to perform as if nothing was happening.

This video of Zodwa is a reminder that everyday as women and in particular black women, we are sexually harassed on the streets by men. And we just have to keep it going, because dare u speak up u might face further violation. SAfrican men do not understand consent.

Zodwa herself however came out to defend the randy men who were lifting her dress up and touching her buttocks and genitals. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Zodwa explained that she was not bothered being groped by the men stressing that they are his loyal supporters who came to see her perform.
“They are my fans, there was no abuse whatsoever, and no harm was done. Those men are the ones who support me, not all these people making noise. I am theirs,” said Zodwa Wabantu.
