He likes to dance with a beer bottle on his head while blowing a whistle. This gained him instant fame on social media, but some people are criticizing him. However, the man does not pay much attention to the criticism because he has a reason. The 47-year-old from Umlazi in Durban, KZN, has been trending since the Easter weekend after pictures and videos of him dancing at Eyadini Lounge went viral. Partying helps him deal with stress, he says.
Dana Khanyile, famously known as ‘Bab’Khanyile’ was on News At Prime on Sunday evening, live from Eyadini, only on Newzroom Afrika, DSTV channel 405.
Speaking to the private broadcaster, the social butterfly says suddenly he just enjoys going out and having fun. He says it helps him unwind and relieve stress. Bab’Khanyile says he’s a believer and a very woke one for that matter. He says having fun has nothing to do with his Christianity.
Asked why he’s careless and not observing social distancing during his partying spree, the recent popular socialite said that when they are dancing, everything goes with the wind, even Covid-19.
Bab’Khanyile further said that he is not bothered by what people are saying about him because at the end of the day, it’s his life. He says only him can decide what he should do with it.

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.
“To those who might not have come across this, my happiness comes first and I’m not committing any crime by dancing. “What I’m doing makes me happy. This is my new life. I started dancing during the festive season at Max’s Lifestyle and Mojos. Those who criticize me must rest because they’re still going to see me dance,” he said.
Dana indicated that despite all this he is still a churchgoer and still a member of the Assemblies of God and will not allow the church to limit his happiness. He even opened up on how some church members have taken a swipe at him due to his viral videos of late.
“I have been loving this life for a long time, but I was scared because I’m a churchgoer. I finally realized life is too short. I am now living a happy life. It was difficult to make that decision, but I had to,” he said.
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.
He said it was easy for him to dance with a bottle on top of his head as he grew up carrying a 20-litre container on his head to fetch water.
In the wake of these viral videos, many questioned has been asked if he is married or not. Well, the 47-year-old is single. However to the dear future wife just bear it in your that Dana is a party animal and you should truly accept and respect that.
