South African media personality Nandi Madida brought the heat to the 2025 Spring Fiesta and had social media buzzing.

The singer and podcaster made a rare appearance on stage, not to host but to perform, and the crowd erupted in cheer.

Nandi shared footage from her show on Saturday, 4 October 2025, at the Wild Waters Complex in Boksburg, Gauteng, where she performed a medley with DJ Kent and the recently reunited Liquideep.

"It's a beautiful medley, and it's so good to be back on stage."

She performed her song Fly Away with DJ Kent from his 2016 album Evolution X, which was released at the height of Nandi's music career.

In a separate post, she spoke about her performance, her day as a supermom, and how she felt immersed in gratitude:

"It's all in a day's work. I enjoy all of that stuff. I enjoy having a career and being a wife and a mom. What I appreciate more is that I've been so true to my dreams, not just my career, but family life as well. I'm very grateful."

"Nandi sings???"
