Pictures: Celebrated Mzansi Dancer Zodwa Wabantu Joins Politics
You can’t talk about winning big in the entertainment industry without putting Zodwa Wabantu in the equation. Despite earning much from her endorsements and other side hustles she recently wowed Mzansi with her eggs business.
We can all agree that Wabantu is all about cashing in the stash and putting food on the table for her family.
No doubt we can all agree that politics is a dangerous game it favours the bold and it seems Zodwa has taken that leap of faith joining a political party based in Jozi. Yes, the Zodwa we all love to hate is now a fully-fledged politician.
Popular dancer and entertainer Zodwa Wabantu has joined politics. She’s now a member of Patriotic Alliance (PA) in Joburg, which she joined in late January. Zodwa had this to say regarding her new life challenge.
“I’m happy. This is my new home. The good thing is that I will have a voice. I thought thoroughly before I considered taking this road of politics as it is sometimes rough,” she said.

She said PA served the interests of people. Nevertheless, this comes as a shocker to Mzansi and many didn’t anticipate it no wonder why she has been trending.

The celebrated dance did indicate that she has been receiving several calls after she broke the news of her political aspirations. She said her phone has not stopped ringing since she joined the party.
“Being a politician and joining PA is a dream come true. I feel at home and at peace,” she said.
The party is led by the revolutionary Kenny Kunene and has since met Zodwa and discussed in length about the party’s vision.
“I was convinced this is the only political party that is relevant in South Africa in this day and age. The party’s commitment to the upliftment of communities is what impressed me most.
“Remember I’m a township girl and I spend a lot of time in the kasi. It breaks my heart to see the misery that people in Kasi go through despite them voting in every election,” she said.
Zodwa said she’s convinced the PA is introducing a new form of politics, which is people-oriented.
“Most people fear change, but why to cling to a political party that has done nothing for you and has demonstrated that its leaders come first not the people,” she said.
