She did, however, courage to leave the unhealthy marriage later on.Speaking to the media, Zodwa indicated that her children encouraged her to ditch the marriage. Little did she know it was the best thing she could have done long back. Reviving her painful marital life, Zodwa said:

“I had to go back home to Sgodiphola in Soweto with nothing to offer my children. He had the money, and all I knew was to give birth and stay home. Sometimes you need to walk away from situations that do not serve you and learn to start over again. Look at me now – telling amazing stories and making the country laugh.”

In the midst of it all, she married and had five children from previous relationships. But don’t let your past dictate your future. Zodwa rose to prominence after landing a role on Muvhango as Nomarashiya.

From there, the rest was history. In recent years she has capped her illustrious career with accolades, including the precious Golden Horn Award.
