A video has gone viral on Twitter showing a male fan groping Zodwa Wabantu during her recent performance.

Fast forward to 2021, another video has gone viral showing the dancer being touched in between her legs by a male fan.
In the video posted on Twitter, the man can be seen touching Zodwa's private parts.
The socialite laughs before pushing the fan's hand away.
Many Tweeps found the video disturbing, with some saying it is sexual abuse.
"What happened to Zodwa was sexual assault. That man was entirely too comfortable touching her like that. How do you feel that entitled to other people’s bodies?," wrote Twitter user Naledi Mashishi.
The sexual harassment Zodwa experiences must be insane. Ey.

Zodwa Wabantu was sexually assaulted in front of people. That should tell you how men really don't care about sexual assault and how confident they are that they'll get away with it.

However, some Tweeps said Zodwa does not seem to mind fans touching her inappropriately based on how she has previously responded to such incidents.
In 2019, the dancer said she did not find her fan's behaviour offensive/ abusive.
"They are my fans, there was no abuse whatsoever. Those men are the ones who support me, not all these people making noise," she told TshisaLIVE.

Below are some of the reactions from her fans relating to the recent video.
Zodwa will come out and say that was not sexual assault because those fans are the one who gives her money when she performs, if she says it’s not sexual assault who are you to say it’s assault?? Relax pic.twitter.com/4bMCiNq9oF

nothing about that video of Zodwa Wabantu being sexually assaulted is funny or okay. it does not matter that Zodwa is a sexually liberated woman, wears revealing clothing, you do not have the right to touch people in their private areas EVER.
