Wabantu finds love with younger man again

-

There is a new man in Zodwa Wabantu’s life, but this time he is only eight years her junior.

The entertaine­r took to her timeline on Tuesday to share a picture with her partner to make things official but concealed his identity.

They’ve been dating for seven months, but she said her 31year-old boyfriend has been lurking in the shadows since she began her career.

“I’ve known the guy.

“He would play for me, we would travel together from when I started, but I’ve never seen him as my boyfriend,” Wabantu told TshisaLIVE.

Although Wabantu, 39, has not revealed the identity of her partner yet, she said down the line she might look into sharing him with the world.

She went public with her past relationsh­ips.

In 2020, Zodwa dated Vusi Ngubane, who was aged 23 at the time, and in 2019 she nearly found herself walking down the aisle with her then-24-yearold boyfriend, known as Ntobeko Linda.

“The last one I had, there was no drama or big deal.

“It’s just that I saw DMs (direct messages).

“You can tell when a person has intentions of stepping out of the relationsh­ip, so before he did, I got rid of him because it means he thinks he is smart and can run the streets.

“So you let him go so he can run the streets, not with your money, not with your cars, or clothes you buy him.

“If someone wants to cheat he must go do it.”

Wabantu said she preferred to date younger men. “They are easy to be with. “It’s nice because you can control them.”

Getting married is one thing Wabantu would love to check off her list, along with getting her big house and flashy cars. “I’m old now.

“I would love to have a ring on my finger.

“As long as I’m sexually satisfied I don’t think there’s anyone I would chase.

“As long as a man respects me. If he doesn’t respect me he must go and leave everything I gave him.”
