Twitter (X) user LimChronicle shared the video of a teary-eyed Makhadzi breaking down, saying she had never been a beneficiary of the Department, saying people were asking her not to expose the truth:

"They want to manipulate me and use me as an example. I didn't eat any money, they must reveal the names of the people who ate the Department's money and those who were funded. If I have to pay for this and die, it's fine."

Makhadzi also revealed that she had been rejected for funding before but never addressed the issue, which was where her loan shark confession came from.

In a separate statement from her team, the singer stated that she only received money for her performances, not direct funding. It went on to urge the Department to reveal the names of the beneficiaries.

Netizens are shattered and demanded that the Department apologise to Makhadzi:

kedibone_sentle said:

"The time of keeping quiet is over. She earned every cent through her hard work. It breaks them when people make it without asking for anything. It is those who earn it legitimately who suffer in the end because of jealousy."

__ThapeloM was shattered:

"She's going through a lot; she doesn't deserve this."
