Phindile's dance video ruffles Mzansi
In a previous report from Briefly News, actress Phindile Gwala went viral on social media after the former Muvhango star showed off her moves. She had fans raving over her stunning hourglass figure while dancing to the sounds of Ngimtholile by Afrosoul, a South African music duo comprising Thandeka Zulu and Sabelo Ngema.
However, some online users suggested that Gwala's dance video was merely a display of her assets to gain attention or "clout". SA had always dragged her for her suggestive moves.
