South Africans have been saying 'Yoh' many times this past few weeks. Nandi Madida was left heartbroken by the state that the country is currently in.

How Nandi Madida feels about current state of SA

Taking to X on Tuesday, 30 September 2025, the singer posted the words "South Africa!" and added a heartbroken emoji.

Madida then posted another video of student activist Mcebo Dlamini, where he was interviewed on Newzroom Afrika.

"South Africa is a movie. We live in a drama. It's a series. Every day, you will be shocked by something new. We have even forgotten what shocked us two weeks ago."

But that is not the only thing Nandi said. She also added a quote from the hit song Waterfalls by the girl group TLC, saying, “Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all. But I think you're moving too fast.”
