South Africa might just have produced its own twerk anthem - actress and dance choreographer Khabonina Qubeka's seductive Wax It.
A judge on the reality TV show Step Up or Step Out , Qubeka is the first to admit she is no Whitney Houston - but the fun ditty, reminiscent of Busta Rhymes and Minaj's Twerk It , may be a fit for her voice.
While she doesn't quite twerk in the video, she shakes her booty à la Destiny's Child in the late 1990s and oozes sex appeal. In the video, she enters a club in a sexy red one-piece suit and attracts the attention of several men.
She purrs: "Wax on, wax off, N* ggas try to touch me but their hands slip off/ Off my body coz it just might break ya/ Do it right and I might just make ya."
Qubeka said the song is empowering.
"I have a sizeable booty and I'm celebrating being a woman."
One commenter on her website called the video an "epic fail", adding that "the rapping is just as bad as the singing".
Earlier this year, she got local users on Twitter all a-twitter with a saucy picture of herself doing yoga in tights. She said that post also resulted in hate mail.
"But I feel like I can say what I want because I'm a grown-ass woman and, as an artist, I'm not glued to one thing - people keep telling me to stick to dancing."
Qubeka is releasing her first fitness DVD at the end of October.
