After walking away with R250 000 in prize money on Saturday (9Nov13) at the finale of So You Think You Can Dance in Johannesburg, Khayelitsha dancer Tshibika, 23, and her family were warned by three people, including a close friend, that a target has been put on her for when she returns home. This comes after reports on Tuesday that Tshibika’s grandmother, 72-year-old Beatrice Tshibika, passed away after collapsing while watching her granddaughter win the competition on Saturday.
