Privacy

“Further updates will be communicated through official channels as and when appropriate.”
Awards
The “Vhutshilo” hitmaker has won multiple awards at the South African Music Awards (SAMA) and has built a reputation for connecting with fans nationwide through her music and live shows.
In July, she returned to where it all began 15 years ago, a shopping centre in Thohoyandou Town, Venda, to officially launch her upcoming One Woman Show.
She told The Citizen that the shopping centre holds huge significance for her.
“That’s where I started performing with just a speaker 15 years ago. I also used to sell my CDs there until I got a breakthrough and started getting booked on bigger stages.”
Uplifting others
Now an established name in the South African music industry, Makhadzi is using her success to uplift others in her hometown.
Over the years, she has supported students and families in need by covering university registration fees, donating food parcels, and providing school shoes to learners.
This year’s One Woman Show was a two-day event, hosted at Makhuvha Stadium and Rabali Stadium on 20 and 21 December.
This year, she prioritised Limpopo artists, who made up 90% of the line-up.
