South African dancer and socialite Zodwa Wabantu has been making headlines for her unconventional approach to love and relationships. In a recent Instagram video, she opened up on why she prefers dating younger men.
According to Zodwa, young men possess qualities that she finds attractive, including ambition, adventure, and a sense of drive. She believes that they have their lives ahead of them, and she has already lived hers.
“I think I have to explain the Ben 10 or the young boyfriend thing with Zodwa Wabantu. They are young, adventurous, outgoing, ambitious; they have their dreams ahead of them. So when it comes to me, I have already lived my life,” she said.
Her comments come after she stirred up the internet earlier this year when she proposed to her then-boyfriend Ntobeko Linda. The proposal was a significant moment in their relationship, with Zodwa going down on one knee and asking him to marry her. She even bought a custom-made ring worth Sh428,397 for the occasion.
However, their romance was short-lived, with Zodwa eventually breaking up with Ntobeko, citing that she was losing herself and needed her spark back. She also advised hardworking women to marry themselves by giving their men money to pay dowry for them.
“We as women we give our men money to marry us. Hard working women hide that they marry themselves by giving their boyfriends money to go to their families to pay Lobola,” she said.
