The star said she would use the hate she received as an opportunity to start a conversation about prostitution. "It is not something to be ashamed of. It is not an embarrassment. I want to open a discussion about it," she said.
Zodwa explained that a few weeks ago she was driving around Durban when she met four prostitutes. She stopped her van and started socialising with them.
"There was a white lady and three black ladies. I stopped the bus and greeted them. I asked them how much they cost. I didn’t interrogate them, I didn’t judge them. They are people too," she said.
"They told me they charge R300, so I gave them R300 out of my pocket. They were surprised.
"I know what is happening on the streets. I don’t hide from the real world."
