Exotic dancer and entertainer Zodwa Libram famously known as Zodwa Wabantu will not be allowed entry into our neighboring country Lesotho for her booked performance. This is contained in a statement sent out by the Minister of Local Government, Chieftainship, Home Affairs and Police Hon. Lephema.
Zodwa, who was seemingly booked to perform in Lesotho soon had in the past also been refused entry to perform in Zimbabwe by the late president Robert Mugabe.
Shared by Twitter account @ZANewsFlash, the statement reads:
“Please be advised that the South African lady known as Zodwa Wabantu, whom you have invited to Lesotho, will be denied entry into the country.”
“Zodwa is known to perform without anything decent in public, the conduct which amounts to public indecency. In terms of our Panel Code Act 2010, Section 56 thereof, a person who creates or takes steps in any indecent spectacle or performance, or who does in public or private any indecent act which is calculated to offend any reasonable member of the public, commits a crime. We are not prepared to wait until a crime is committed.”
The statement concluded by noting:
“Apart from the fact that our Penal Code criminalises public indecency, Lesotho is a Christian Nation which jealously guards and/or cherishes its Christian values and as a Christian Nation, we are not prepared to compromise our Christian values. ”

Social media users shared their views on the matter, adding:
We are moral decayed as country, big up to Lesotho for protecting their children. In Mzansi, ANC and democracy destroyed this country to the core. We can’t even reprimand our own kids.
