CORONAVIRUS sure has changed her in many ways. She’s now become an exercise loving,tea-drinking, TV-watching woman – all thanks to the national lockdown.
But there’s one thing about Zodwa Wabantu fans know and love that remains: her love of showing off her body.
The 34-year-old has been keeping her followers entertained – and getting fit while doing it – by showing off videos of herself jogging around her yard in her underwear or in a bikini.
Even a break-in and some tension between her and her bae, Vusi Buthelezi (24), haven’t killed her spirits.
She simply cries, then moves on, she tells DRUM.
Zodwa tells us she’s been making the most of being forced to stay home. “Before the lockdown, I did not like gym. Well, now I have the time for it,” she says.
She has equipment in her home in Malvern, Durban, that she wasn’t using. Now her treadmill, bicycle, maxi climber, and some dumb-bells have been put to good use. “I am into it now because I am bored,” she says.
“I would always wake up drunk or too tired after a night of partying. Now I am sober. I have time and I love it.”
For 45 minutes on most weekdays, Zodwa indulges in her new hobby.
Her new favourite quarantine partner is undoubtedly her four-month-old dog, Prince. Her pet has become part of her daily routine. “I wake up, make tea, jog, and I feed my dog,” Zodwa says.
She also sleeps a lot. But when awake she’s on her couch watching TV. “I watch everything, which is something I never get time to do. From cartoons to Uyajola 9/9,” she says.
