Zodwa Wabantu is a popular alias for Zodwa Rebecca Libram, but she goes by several other names as well. She’s been going by the stage name Zodwa wabantu for a year now.

The South African-born entertainer is now a self-employed businesswoman who deals with providing entertainment in venues such as bars, clubs, and parties.

The 35-year-old was born in Soweto, one of South Africa’s most famous townships.

She was born in Soweto but rose to fame in KwaZulu-renowned Natal’s Eyadini lounge despite her Soweto roots.

After entertaining guests at Eyadini, it was time for Zodwa Wabantu to test her mettle against the ocean’s most fearsome predators, and she did just that.

She’s faced a lot of backlash in the media, but she’s never heeded any of it. As a result, she is now enjoying a luxurious lifestyle and owning several high-end automobiles. See her before and after she became famous in the following photos:
