Zodwa Wabantu Apologizes for Homophobic Remarks

The Reality TV star Zodwa Wabantu has issued an apology following backlash for homophobic comments that were made on “Zodwa Wabantu: Uncensored” early this month.

That comes after Moja Love released a statement apologising for Wabantu’s comments and DStv distanced themselves from her comments.

The queen vosho addressed the LGBTQI+ community on her reality show on Saturday, apologising for her comments and giving some clarity on the situation.

In the segment, Wabantu opens by greeting her followers and said: “I would like to say to every bisexual, transgender and gay. I would like to apologise from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t mean it like that.”

Zodwa carried on and said that one of her DJ buddies reached out to her via text explaining why her comments were considered homophobic. Wabantu goes on to state that she wasn’t aware that the phrases she uttered were considered both transphobic and homophobic.

On top of that, she said that no one should be harassed and offered an explanation for saying that cisgender heterosexual people accommodate gay men.

In the text exchange with the friend, it was explained to Wabantu that by saying gay men are being accommodated she is muscling in that homosexual people don’t have rights.

Wabantu ended her statement by taking back her “accommodate” comment and offered her sincerest apology.
