Cape Town – Zodwa Wabantu has been showing different sides to herself since beginning her ancestral journey early this year.
The reality TV star and dancer, took to Instagram recently, to speak about the importance of being humble in life.
In the video, Zodwa who is seen wearing a traditional head wrap and beads, calmly explains “gratitude” which she says is one of the simple life principles she speaks about.
She then talks about “poverty of the mind” and how it affects those who lack gratitude and humility.

“You know, being poor doesn’t mean having an empty fridge or you don’t have material things. Poverty is in the mind; people who are poor there I pity them. The person who is poor in the mind has told themselves that they don’t beg people, they’ve told themselves they are not afraid of anyone. Poverty is of the mind. Some of us still humble ourselves. Even today, we beg.” she said (in Zulu translated in English)
She further explains that even people of her caliber still have to beg to reach some of their goals.
“We humble ourselves even to the people who have things we want. We want jobs, we beg; we want to be helped regarding things we can’t reach, we ask. Who are you to say you don’t beg, you are not afraid of anyone? That’s poverty,” she said.
