How much has Thandeka's fans raised?

In a GoFundMe page, Thandeka's fanbase, known as the Thalians, said they are donating money because she gave them a show.

Thandeka claims the Bazozwa title

In an interview on the Engineer Your Life Podcast, Thandeka said she won the competition fair and square and that she is the Bazozwa queen.

"I am the Queen of Bazozwa, forever. I worked hard to be me. I worked hard not to let those circumstances make me say, 'Thandeka, turn into somebody else. Strategise and be whatever," she boldly stated.

She further said she embodies all the qualities of a winner, something Liema Pantsi does not have:

"Bazozwa is about articulating yourselves well, it's about learning when to sit back and observe that silence is loud. I was all of those things and more, and boy, did they hear. Even the winner knows," she cheekily said. "They should have let a person have what was theirs," adding that even in the previous year's competition, the winner was robbed. "I said that the moment I came out, that Thandeka Tshabalala is the queen of Bazozwa, so you can keep whatever, but we all know who the winner was."
