Speaking to the publication, the foundation's chairperson, Itumeleng Motaung, reacted to the singer's video mocking the community.

Itumeleng said:

"While we note media reports about her apology, the incident couldn’t have come at a worse time as we are commemorating #DeafAwarenessMonth. Makhadzi’s actions, unfortunately, appeared to mock an integral part of deaf identity, We urge Makhadzi to use this moment to engage with the deaf community and gain a deeper understanding of SASL and deaf culture."

Motaung further mentioned that they offered her a free class to help her connect with the deaf community and promote positive representation:

"We hope by extending this offer, Makhadzi will see it as an opportunity to use her platform to celebrate diversity and inclusivity, setting an example for others to foster greater understanding and respect for the deaf community."
