Shoki’s post quickly gained a lot of attention, with most South Africans condemning her for “public indecency”.
Some speculated that she was having a midlife crisis.
According to The Citizen, after her divorce, the 44-year-old mother of two has been living a healthier lifestyle and working out on a regular basis.

But this is public indecency. She’s in a petrol station and not at the beach or by the pool. We cannot be justifying it by saying “she’s confident/having fun”, there are so many ways for one to show how confident they are in their skin. Pls.

The way people are justifying this bullshit, guys this thing is called public indecency and she can be arrested for this bullshit.
You being comfortable in your body does not mean you should go around like this. https://t.co/HXveZEJqJy
