Reality TV star and exotic dancer Zodwa Wabantu says fame is nothing compared to the woman she is becoming.
Zodwa confirmed her ancestral calling in a chat with TshisaLIVE earlier this year after she shared a picture of herself in a stream wrapped in traditional cloth.
Taking to her Instagram timeline, the star shared a snap of herself again wearing traditional healers’ clothes and holding a horn that belonged to an ancestor.
“I’m Choosing Idlozi. I’m very wealthy ngiyikosazana yasebukhosini under amahlubi clan inkosi imina fame is nothing to me, compared to what I am and becoming. This horn is 133 years old and belonged to my great-great grandfather. Soft life for life,” she wrote.
She earlier told TshisaLIVE she now saw her ancestors’ hand in her life.
“They don’t want a weave, they don’t want make up; now I understand why I was different. It was them. I don’t fit in, I have no desire to be wanted. I walk alone, and I’m different. So it was not me, because I’ve chosen to be that way. I was built to not fall for anything.”
The star got tongues wagging on social media a few months ago when she posted a picture of herself dressed in white and kneeling as part of a ceremony.
Zodwa’s mentor and spiritual leader Dr Samuel Mhlaba of Kwa-Mhlaba Traditional Healers shed light on the ceremony, explaining it was a cleansing and summoning ceremony to ensure protection and good luck.
He said the ceremony was a normal African practice that shouldn’t be frowned upon.
“Our traditions and norms need to be respected, so let us show people what we do, because they [whites] brought the concept that everything we do is evil so that we will throw it away and run away from it.”
