Zodwa Wabantu Faces Backlash for Refusing to Refund R13,000 After Missing Performance

South African exotic dancer Zodwa Wabantu has sparked controversy after refusing to return R13,000 to an event organizer for a performance she missed. On September 7, 2024, Zodwa was booked to perform at Stenga’s Place in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni, but did not attend, leaving event organizer Stenga Shabangu and attendees frustrated. Despite receiving the booking fee, Zodwa’s no-show caused significant tension at the event, further heightened by the audience’s negative reaction.

Shabangu voiced his frustrations publicly, accusing Zodwa of unprofessionalism for not informing anyone of her absence. He claimed that Zodwa was the event’s main draw and her failure to appear resulted in major financial losses. Shabangu demanded that she return the booking fee and suggested she could use funds from future performances to reimburse him.

However, Zodwa remained firm in her refusal to issue a refund, citing her spiritual beliefs. She told the *Daily Sun*, “I’m an ancestor’s child, and when money comes in, there’s no way I can give it back because I have asked them kindly.” Instead, Zodwa offered to perform at a later date but reiterated that a refund was out of the question due to her cultural practices.

When questioned about her absence, Zodwa admitted she had accepted a higher-paying gig on the same night. This revelation further angered Shabangu, who believed that clear communication could have prevented the situation from escalating.

The incident has divided fans. Some criticize Zodwa’s handling of the situation, calling it unprofessional, while others empathize with her commitment to her cultural traditions. Similar controversies are not new in South Africa’s entertainment industry. For instance, actor Khaya Dladla faced backlash when he pulled out of a Mandoza tribute concert due to disagreements with the event organizers.

Zodwa’s refusal to issue refunds, based on her spiritual beliefs, continues to fuel debate on professionalism versus cultural practices in the entertainment industry.
