Khuzani became the second artist in the space of three months to fill up the stadium after rapper, Cassper Nyovest, hosted a successful #FillUp concert in December. Briefly.co.za learnt that the Gusheshe hit-maker took to social media to congratulate his fellow entertainer on his historical show.

Social media users were full of respect for Khuzani after what he achieved. Maskandi is a genre often forgotten as Mzansi focuses more on the hip-hop and Gqom artists, but Gcwalisa iMabhida was testament to just how important Maskandi is.
