Well-known local musician Zwivhuya Makondelele, famously known as Mosque Slenderboy, apparently likes to show off his tush to his fans. Last year, he caused quite a stir when he ended up naked on stage at a drinking hole at Tswinga. Now another video of him dancing naked on stage, this time while he performed at the Siawoadza Tavern in Tshiulungoma village on Saturday, 4 February, went viral. But the artist from Fondwe village does not feel ashamed in the least.
Makondelele's music is a mixture of rhumba, kwasa kwasa, house, manyalo and gospel, and he is highly regarded for his impressive acrobatic dancing skills during performances.
He told Limpopo Mirror that, as an adult, he was fully aware of what he was doing on stage and he did not have to get approval from anyone. He even admitted that he had instructed his driver to take the video. "There must have been more than 1000 fun lovers who came to see me perform that evening. The venue was packed to full capacity, and the mood was vibrant. I had my outfit on when I started my performance, and the fans went crazy with every dance move I made."
However, he said the whole show made a U-turn when he performed his famous song, Vhusweule, which includes lyrics such as "musi ro kangwa ri a bvula marukhu" (when we are drunk, we take off our trousers). "I started taking off my shirt, but the crowd was not satisfied, so I took off my trousers too and was left with only my underwear on. But still the crowd continued yelling for me to go further. Realising that my fans were not going to give up, I found myself taking off my underwear as well and everyone was cheering and clapping while I did my dance moves."
He said that, although he had taken everything off, he had made sure that his private parts were not exposed to the audience. "I covered my private parts with my hand while I continued to dance. I am not sorry for what I did, because the most important thing for me is to make my fans happy when I perform," he said.
