BOSTWANA FANS REACT IN ANGER
Zodwa’s Botswana fans on the other hand have not been so kind.
The star posted a video of the concert crowd where she was due to perform, hurling glass bottles on stage. This, after discovering that Zodwa would not be making an appearance.
Zodwa apologised to her fans, posting on Instagram: “I’m so sorry Botswana. Zodwa Wabantu is sick”.
However, according to the Botswana Gazette, Zodwa dodged a bullet by not coming to the country as rumours that she would be arrested and deported began to surface.
The source told the publication: “An instruction from a high-profile office was issued to BPS [Bostwana Police Services] o arrest and lay charges against the controversial entertainer”.

The source added that police were instructed to use Section 167 and 176 of the penal code as grounds for arrest, which refer to public indecency and common nuisance respectively.
So, Botswana was going to arrest ZODWA

However a police spokesperson claimed he was not constrained to speak on a matter that did not occur.
In 2018 Zodwa was deported from Zambia after the country’s National Arts Council rejected her application to perform. She is due to return to the country for the first tim since her deportation on 18 December 2021.
