As a spate of xenophobic attacks continues to rock the nation, Zodwa Wabantu has added her voice to calls for there to be an end to the hatred and fighting

The recent xenophobic attacks which erupted in parts of Gauteng earlier this week has dominated headlines and has seen well-known celebs from across the continent retaliate against it on social media.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, Zodwa could be seen holding up newspapers which featured the attacks.

“Our sisters and brothers are lazy. They are taking things from people who are really doing something about their lives,” she captioned one of the videos.

Zodwa added that “we are all one” and that there needs to be an end to the looting of foreign shop owners’ premises.

“As South Africans this is so wrong. This is not xenophobia, this is not about us hating our brothers and sisters from other countries. This is people taking things from people who are working hard. I hate it.”

The comments section of the post was flooded, with some users telling Zodwa to stick to her day job of dancing

While, some of Zodwa’s fans supported her stance.

One user told Zodwa that she knew nothing about hardwork vs laziness.

“Wazini nge hard work vs laziness. If you were such a hard worker try reading a book. Leave politics and other environmental matters you are too small minded to understand,” the follower said.

Another user told her to “go and get dressed and stop talking issues you are not aware of.”

Zodwa didn’t bite her tongue and told the user where to get off.

“What do you do with your books? I can hire you with your profession.”
