Wabantu, who plays herself in the show, will make her cameo appearance on Thursday, 14 April.
In a statement, the actor said she came on board with the series because she appreciated that Black Brain Pictures has gone underground to reveal what is already there.
"There is a world of nakedness and freedom, a beautiful world that no one wants to talk about. These are the stories we should talk about. It is happening, they are there, and people turn a blind eye, but our husbands and boyfriends go there. There is nothing to be ashamed of because they are feeding their families. The sex industry is big, and it lives."
Outspoken about body positivity and expressing sexual freedom, Wabantu added, "These girls with their jobs, they've opened the door for me. Now I am accepted as a dancer because sex sells, and I am selling my body."
Tune into e.tv, Monday to Friday at 21:30 to catch The Black Door.
