Glenda Kemp

Koczwara and Kemp got married in 1982, and eventually divorced in 1991. On 12 July 2019, Koczwara was beaten to death with a hammer in his Johannesburg home.

In the 1980s, Glenda put her dancing career behind her, moved back to South Africa, started a family with her husband, Karl Koczwara, and completed her teacher training and became a teacher. She returned to the Christian faith of her early teen years, and began a lay ministry to children and to the vulnerable people of society including prostitutes and drug addicts. She now lives in Durban in retirement.

It was during the conservative 1970s, that Kemp began stripping with "Oupa", her pet python. Her scandalous actions and her provocative moves caused the Vice Squad to do their best to stop her, without success. The newspaper Rapport tagged her "Newsmaker of the Year". She was arrested on numerous occasions and charged with public indecency. Faced with barricades of Christian wives on one side and loyal fans and liberals on the other, she never gave up, but continued to provoke the attention of the public.

Glenda Kemp (born 1949) is a South African stripper, activist, and teacher.

Glenda Kemp was born in the Cape Province on 13 May 1949. As a young girl, she lived in the working class suburb of La Rochelle with her mother, stepfather, and younger brother. Her two older siblings were in an orphanage in Potchefstroom; she was later to be sent to the orphanage too. Kemp was adopted by Tannie and Oom Baumbach into their Christian home in the small farming town of Swartruggens. In 1969, she enrolled into the Teachers' Training College in Potchefstroom. It was here she discovered dancing; her skill would be appreciated, as well as detested by many in the future.
