Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Brenden Maseko from Open Mic Productions said that the star was not attacked by her fans.

"What happened on Saturday, people didn't throw bottles or things at Makhadzi, it's false. It was the weakness of the promoter regarding security at the venue and the event. The barricade for [the] golden circle and general access was just a barricade. There was no security there. Immediately when Makhadzi got onto the stage people wanted to come forward and see her and they pushed the barricade."
