A very emotional Zodwa Wabantu recorded herself drenched in tears, just to thank the people who made her into who she is today. From the security guard to the big decision makers in boardrooms, she could not fight back her tears as she relayed a message of gratitude to all of them.
The exotic dancer who made a name for herself by dancing in skimpy, revealing clothing, has solidified her brand into being an entrepreneur and much loved MC at events or clubs.
Her longevity is also one that is commendable as when she started out many people thought her 'celebrity status' was going to frizzle out however she still stands firms even till this day.
From endorsement deals, to walking the red carpet and looking fabulous in her natural hair, Zodwa Wabantu's star power is undeniable. She might not be your cup of tea, but she has a strong following - 1.9 million on Instagram to be exact.
Zodwa recognised all the people who sit in top positions who are the decision makers in choosing and picking people's names, including hers and thanked them for this.
She did say that people might think she is crying because of her chosen lifestyle, but she is actually emotional because of the support she has been receiving from people.
"I'm so grateful guys, all the people who make that decision to say Zodwa Wabantu we want her on board, from major deals, bookings, clubs shisanyama's, our friends that suggest our friends in meeting...more especially when it involves money, I would like to say thank you," she said.
"You could be a security guard, barman, waitress, thank you very much, thank you for choosing my name. I am not educated but I am just hungry. Every day I work so hard. I thank you so much. All the media houses have been there for me, they do not want to hear anything negative about Zodwa.
"I am able to buy bread and eggs and eat I don't care about the other stuff that you think I wan to but, I want to be happy."
"Thank you to the people that provide us with work," she said adding that she is at home, not drunk, and is not sad about anything she is just grateful and emotional.
Zodwa is also grateful for the love she is receiving from her lover Olefile 'Ricardo' Mpudi's. It is no rocket science that Zodwa is in love with Ricardo and she has expressed it more than once. Ricardo is the third Ben 10 Zodwa has introduced to her fans and many are crossing fingers that this one will not end in tears.
Ricardo has also expressed how much of an influence Zodwa is in his life as she motivates him on a daily. "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. My biggest motivator in life," he said.
Zodwa sent some sweet words back to him and said, "You are my Everything. I listen to you, you listen to me that’s the Biggest Motivator to love and be Great in this World."
