The exotic dancer has been on the bad side of show promoters for quite some time. Last month, she enraged a promoter by failing to pitch at an event in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga.

According to ZAlebs, this was not Zodwa's first time being accused of being a no-show. In 2022, she made headlines for a similar reason: organisers blasted her for accepting a booking fee but failing to appear for the performance.
