Controversial South African dancer cum entertainer Zodwa Wabantu has come out to rubbish claims doing rounds on social media that she was dead.

Through her Instagram account, Wabantu stated that she was bewildered as to why some people were wishing her death.

Wabantu said that “people like her don’t die” and that she was booked until September this year, 2018.

"Guys I'm not dead. What could possibly kill me? People like me just don't die. I'm not dead. How many times must you call me to say Zodwa is dead? People like me, they don't die, they don't just die.

"Look, I have no time for people who want to kill me because I am working hard for my cash. I have confirmed bookings till September, that have been paid for already. Why would I just die?" Posted Wabantu.

Wabantu is fresh form a grand April tour of the USA where she visited the states of Washington DC and Texas.

The dancer known for her panty less antics said that the tour was as a result of “tons of request” form her fans in America to give them “what they want.”

"There has been such a great response from people in America to my dancing. A lot of them want me to go and visit them. I decided that it is time to give the people what they want.

"I have always said that I will stop dancing when I retire but right now I am having fun and trying different things. The more people that know about Zodwa Wabantu overseas the better," said Wabantu.
