Zodwa Wabantu trends day in and day out for her antics and skimpy dressing, but beneath that exterior is a soft and caring lady, determined to make a change.

Briefly News reported an old photo of Zodwa doing some charitable work that was shared on social media recently. In the picture, Zodwa was seen donating R10 000 to a physically disabled child.

In the snap, Zodwa was holding the young child and a huge cheque in her arms. The beautiful gesture left many looking at the exotic dancer a little differently.
