But one thing that has remained the same over the years is her love for multi-coloured wigs. Babes, as she’s affectionately called, does not play it safe when it comes to her hair and can pull of bold colours such as orange, pink, purple and green.

“I used to make a lot of money. My booking fee at the time was around R120 000 0 R150 000 … so in a weekend I’d have about eight gigs and that’s about R1 million. I made a lot of mistakes such as not paying my dancers and spending that money on expensive weaves, alcohol and drinking with friends,” she said in the interview.
