Qubeka on African mission to show benefits of yoga

- By CHRIZELDA KEKANA

THERE’S no denying that Khabonina Qubeka is an artist and she always finds a way to re-invent herself; case in point she seamlessly morphs from actress‚ to dancer and most recently Khabo Yoga the yogi.

She recently shared her dream and how she plans to win Africa over.

“My people‚ African people‚ are not easily persuaded to give yoga a chance. There are many reasons for that and one is we’ve been made to believe it’s not for us. But fortunatel­y‚ I know what we love‚ we love to dance. So I will travel the continent and introduce them to yoga‚ even if I must first present my dance skills to get their attention.”

Such is a mark of a woman who sees no limits to her dreams and she’s poured her passion into making yoga the in-thing for African youth.

Before the actress was known for her devious character on Isidingo‚ she was Muvhango’s Doobsie.

However‚ soon after she captured Mzansi’s heart as Doobsie‚ she locked us in her sizzling dance moves when she revealed she was also a choreograp­her.

Khabonina said now that she knew the benefits of yoga she felt compelled to share.

She said she planned to visit African countries sharing the knowledge with a passion that matches that of a missionary planting Christiani­ty.

Khabonina said she planned to visit countries such as Botswana‚ Mozambique‚ Zambia.
