Manaka Ranaka, a popular actress, has challenged entertainer Zodwa Rebecca Libram aka Zodwa Wabantu to a boxing match.
The actress Manaka Ranaka who plays the role of Lucy Diale in Generations: The Legacy shared a video on her Instagram account on Thursday, 12 October where she challenged dancer Zodwa Wabantu to fight her.
Ranaka’s video comes a day after Sunday World reported that the The Wife star Khanyi Mbau will not fight entertainer Zodwa Wabantu in the upcoming celebrity boxing match.
The publication also revealed that the Mbau will be replaced with another actress from an SABC1 soapie.
Promoter Arnold “Squire” Nododile reportedly told the publication: “Khanyi will no longer be part of the fight, please note we’ve found a potential replacement to fight with Zodwa Wabantu.
“We are just waiting for the actress to return back the contract today (Wednesday), so we can make the posters to promote the fight.”
According to celebrity blog Maphepha Ndaba, actress Khanyi Mbau, who is now in Dubai, has denied claims that she is ready to battle Zodwa Wabantu.
Ranaka’s supporters believe she will win her impending fight with comedian and businesswoman Zodwa Wabantu.
Arnold “Squire” Nododile, the promoter, had confirmed to Sowetan on 3 October that the fight will take place on 22 October at The Ridge Casino in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga.
