Zodwa Wabantu says she's unhappy with calls for her to give it all up.

Social media users have urged the exotic dancer to hang up her towel, claiming her time is up.

“Kona it's time to throw in the towel Gogo,” one social media user wrote.

Responding to social media posts, Zodwa told TshisaLIVE she was getting bookings and had no plans to stop working. 

“I feel disrespected. How can someone decide to cancel me out of my kids' bread? My work feeds a lot of people and makes a difference.”

“I'm not the club promoter or event organiser who decides to book myself. I get bookings from different places in the world and there wouldn't be bookings if what I was doing was wrong or immoral. I am not going to stop doing what my fans love and I won't be told by anyone to end my bread and butter, otherwise Ms*n* wabo bonke.”
