According to Khanyile he doesn’t care at all and will continue to dance till death. Speaking to the media he had this to say.

Dana said church members were also divided about his decision.
“I don’t care. I have to be happy if I’m not in church. I love to be happy while eating meat and drinking alcohol with other people,” he said.
