"I have a good feeling this might be the year that I find love"

Khabonina Quebeka celebrated her 31st birthday far from home this year in Nelspruit.

“For the past ten years I have used my birthday as an occasion to provide a platform for new talent to showcase themselves,” said Quebeka. “And I decided that it was time to spread my wings into other provinces and Limpopo was it.”

“I contacted a local radio station Ligwalagwala FM and asked them to mention that I was coming to town, and if anyone was interested in joining me on stage, and that they should send their details to me via Twitter or facebook.”

Quebeka was inundated with applications, selected a few and asked them to join her for auditions on the day prior to the show.

“After watching the auditions, I selected those that would be stage ready after a bit of grooming. 

“I held workshops and gave them advice about how to conduct themselves on stage.”

With the talent in place, the party was ready to get started. So what was the highlight of her evening? 

“Apart from being serenaded by a young man who sang that he wanted me, the most magical part of my birthday was listening to Khanyi who opened the evenings event for me singing a jazz number.” 

Qubeka had been told about a young girl in the townships who sang like Judith Sephuma and she just knew that she had to find and include her at the event.

“What a talent. I nearly cried when I heard her perform. She was incredible.”

Qubeka said that it was really different performing and sharing her birthday in Limpopo.  “I felt genuine love and appreciation for me as a person and not just as an artist.”

Cutting her ‘Khabodacious’ cake, she gave thanks for the year that has passed and the one ahead.

When asked what she is currently up to, apart from planning her next birthday to be held in Bloemfontein she said: “Well the dance studio is doing extremely well since we moved into bigger premises with more parking.  We have even had some celebrities such as Lira and Pabi Moloi shaking their booties with us.

“I am also involved with a reader/education programme.  I go to schools and encourage youngsters to read.  I am about to incentivize them further by creating Book Club Awards where I will give them prizes for reading the most books.

“Looking forward, I am considering taking my choreography skills into the international environment... give a bit of an African feel to music video’s and shows worldwide.”

At the age of 31, Qubeka feels that she should be settled by now and in a steady relationship. 

“I have a good feeling that this might be the year that I find love.

“Usher is coming to town and he is single at the moment.  I am going to go to his concert and cheer him on – maybe offer some help with moves to his dance crew.”

Keen on the possibility she added: “I will be professional, not wear sexy clothing and promise not to touch his abs.”

“I have always admired Usher as an artist.  He has a level of honesty, is always professional - plus he knows how to look after that body.”

Qubeka also respects that Usher mentors young talent such as Justin Bieber.

“Performing is not just about a voice. It is the whole package – good hair, great outfit, music, sound, lights and dance. It is not just a show it must be an experience.”

Asked if she has bought her Usher concert tickets yet she said: “Oh give me a break. I have just spent my last pennies on my birthday celebration. 

“I need a gig quick so that I can afford them!”

  • Usher is scheduled to perform at Orlando Stadium in Soweto on 10th March 2012. Tickets are available from Computicket and are priced between R215 and R455.

Khabonina (latest Doopsie Muvhango)
Hai shame – everytime i see her i wonder how can 43 teeth fit into one mouth. And what’s up with that hanging skin under her eyes. I want her to water my garden with her mouth cause when she talks all the Vaal-river water comes out. O re tshwela ka mare gal.

Akhona (Generations)
That chick ke sekobo jong – ha ke tsebe gore wa lla or wa tshega or if she is shocked or just happy. Marinini (gums) a gage a mantsho o kare a pere ya goba le Menopause. Ge ke mo lebeletse ke gopola that advert ya Domestos or some Toilet cleaner – she looks like that bacteria inside the Toilet with a big voice saying “Bang thola la – ba zonshiya la” then BOOOM...I dioriah. If you take a microskope to increas the size/zoom and look at a FLY (Ntshi/Mbokani) YOU will see that it looks like Akhona. And o omelletse okare mohlare wa mokwepere...hai khona....she’s not supposed to be human. She’s some kind of a fly or insect.

MamRuby (Generations)
I though u r fat & beautiful until i saw u ka chubaba ya mohlolo. U’ve been using Memeza for long. And since u came to Generations Queen doesn’t look fat anymore – u r a life saver. Mara le wena – have u heard of Sahlaela-Mafura....try it mummy.

Dineo (Generations)
I’m sure they can put her in a school Biology classroom and teach the kids abt what a sekleton looks like inside. She is a walking skeleton....with that Fake buttock she put last year...and o na le Nnyo ya lerapo...I’m sure if u put a di*ck too deep...it will come out the other side of her body with a hole in it. And that hairstyle – what went wrong...U had that Old hairstyle o kare o hobbo for months now...did u fight with u’r hair stylist.

Shakira (Scandal)
Mara Shakira’s legs...kwaaaa....O kare maoto a Giraff, they always cross one another like Khethiwe’s legs. And her face is like banana ye disabled...mara why show us her legs knoing that they play cris-cross when she walks.....

Madika (Scandal)
Mahlo a Madika o kare a segwagwa...they are all out. She looks like ba mo tshere ka fase.....and her body shame....o kare o apere school bag full of bricks and Seshwapha sona...tjerrrr....even chinese are better mara she is a good actor indeed.


Meme (Muvhango)
Is that her bumps going up and down or perhaps it was my TV shaking like Jelly. Her big legs looks like she has Elephantism desease and lekopo (forehead) yona...tjoh. Mara she keep us entertained shame.

Suzan (Muvhango)
What on earth is that (that’s what i thought when i first saw her). She is a living daylight witch, with those eyes that looks like if she look at you – you’ll be crippled without her using any Muti. Her eyes scares me to death, she is so Ugly – you don’t know whether o gatile ke Gautrein or her parents conceived her in a bush. She is not a happy child forsure – it looks like buglary was taking place and someone was forced to open legs....Mara she has a good heart for Bafuwe (Chief) so...keep up gal & the S-Curl...hahahaha

Fuluwani (Muvhango)
Whe I see her – I know that there was onec Poverty in her upbringing. If you don’t feed u’r child while still young – they grow up ba omelletse like Fuluwani...o kare Mosquito wa Sthandivele......No lekhuranyana...nothing...Poverty took its toll.

Sundanani (Muvhango)
Sundi – I like the spoild brat part u play especially when u start talking rude and very fast to Chief Azwindini.O kare o CD ya go ba le scratch. And what up with such a big fat A$$. O na le lerago Sundi and hey mara le wena...your skin color is weird – you are not black, you bare charcoal in color WHY? Or must I blame the makeup artist. And those chameleon eyes....tjerrrrrrr

KK (Muvhango)
I like this gal – When we talk of African beauty – we’re referring to ppl like him. Nothing fakish, AFRICAN PRIDE. A living prrof that Human beings were once APES.
