Makhadzi maintains contract ended with Open Mic Productions

Makhadzi added that she continued to work peacefully even though Open Mic didn't give her a signed copy of her signed contract.

"I am talking about the contract I signed, and no one was allowed to give me a copy. I worked with Open Mic without a copy of my contract ever since they said they would send it. I kept reminding them, but no one was willing to send me my contract."

The Milandu Bhe hitmaker bashed the recording company for disputing her statement that their business relationship had ended.

"All I wanted was to do my things in peace. That’s why I dropped my statement last week without pointing any fingers. Now they are disputing my statement, and they are saying my contract is auto-renewable. My question is, how is it possible to sign me and not give me my copy of the contract, so I can see those clause?
