Zodwa Wabantu’s career is dead and buried – quite literally, as the party girl has announced that she’s opening her own funeral parlour.
The 35-year-old star, who made a name for herself dancing at a shisanyama joint in Durban, has gone on to bag her own reality show and launched various other business ventures, including her range of perfume.
The Soweto-born entertainer took to Instagram this week, where she revealed the name of her new business, Zodwa Wabantu Undertakers Mortuary.
“When I think of living a lavish lifestyle, I think of businesses to build. All are in my name, registering, building, making mistakes, failing, trying again.
“I won’t stop. I won’t act 20 years with my money in the industry but see me in years to come,” she posted.
Last month, Zodwa revealed she had voluntarily checked herself into a rehabilitation centre.
The star, who says she is tired of consuming alcohol, is receiving treatment in a Durban centre.
Posting a video on Instagram, Zodwa said she wanted to explore what it felt like to receive treatment as she was tired of her party lifestyle.
“Good morning guys, to my doctor, ngiyaziletha kuwe (I am bringing myself to you) ... I am f***ing tired and another thing. I think I am coming for the rehab, rehab for alcohol ngihlezi ngidakwa (I am always getting drunk).
“But I am there to learn about the rehab, I am coming to explore,” Zodwa said.
The dancer also asked her friends not to disturb her with calls while she undergoes treatment.
