Sibusiso also told DailySun that she asked for the gig, and he came through for her. He said Zodwa was late for a show in Ermelo but did not come to another one in Bethal, where he had to defend himself from angry club owners.

Zodwa said she did not know him and would check with her manager Terrence, who also denied knowledge of the show. He said he always notifies customers if there is a missed booking and gives a refund or a new date.

Sibuso is still looking to open a case against Zodwa but is waiting to find her address.

Fans of Zodwa continue to show her love on social media. Many keep up to date with Zodwa's sangoma journey and often refer to her as Gogo.
