Thembi Seete, the iconic Boom Shaka member, recently delivered an electrifying performance at Metro FM’s end-of-year party, leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement. Known for her infectious energy and vibrant stage presence, Thembi showed no signs of slowing down, twerking and executing high-energy dance moves that have become synonymous with her brand. Her performance, which was captured on video and quickly circulated on social media, sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and critics alike.

While some applauded Thembi’s ability to bring youthful energy to the stage at the age of 47, others were less impressed. Social media users voiced mixed opinions, with some questioning her decision to keep channeling the high-octane persona she had during her Boom Shaka days. One tweep mused, “Is Thembi Seete trapped in a Boom Shaka loop? …Feels like she’s stuck in that era.” Another user weighed in on the broader topic of aging in the public eye, writing, “This thing of not wanting to age is the big problem.”

However, not all the feedback was critical. Many fans defended Thembi, pointing out that she was simply staying true to her roots. One fan reminded others of the cultural significance of Boom Shaka during the 90s, noting, “You must not have been in SA during the Boom Shaka era. I was a child, and their dances were deemed as outrageous.” For these supporters, Thembi’s performance was a nostalgic reminder of the era when Boom Shaka was the soundtrack of a generation.

Despite the mixed reactions, Thembi appeared unfazed by the criticism. In true showbiz fashion, she seemed to be focused on the bigger picture—the “bag”—unbothered by the online chatter surrounding her performance. Her ability to command attention and remain a fixture in South African entertainment, even decades after her breakthrough with Boom Shaka, is a testament to her enduring relevance in the industry. Whether it’s twerking on stage or showing off her dance moves, Thembi Seete’s confidence and commitment to her craft are clear, as she continues to navigate the ever-evolving world of entertainment with the same fire that first made her a household name.
