Zodwa Wabantu has clapped back hard at fans who criticised her relationship with a younger man.

The dancer and entertainer is dating “Ben 10” boyfriend Olefile Mpudi aka Ricardo, a model and designer. The couple’s social media antics have been filled with plenty of partying and PDA.

Whilst many have accused Ricardo of “securing the bag” by dating Zodwa Wabantu, she on the other hand claims their relationship is based on “love”.

Zodwa shared a video of Ricardo kissing her on the mouth after a night out without her. She captioned the clip: “I love you @ricardo__cpt I laugh every time you come back home from partying while I was asleep”.

Not everyone found the post funny or endearing. One follower claimed Ricardo kissed Zodwa “like he is absorbing cocaine”.

Another – who runs a Johannesburg cocktail lounge – admonished the reality TV star, claiming: “This is child abuse”.
An unfazed Zodwa responded: “Focus on the club business”.
