Babalwa M’s Performance at Kwa Max Had Fans Scratching Their Heads: “Only Talent, No Aesthetics”

• South African Amapiano singer Babalwa M performed at Max's Lifestyle in Umlazi, Durban
• Her performance sparked chatter on social media, with people saying she lacked stage presence
• The singer was performing the hit song Sisukakude, but her outfit failed to impress

It seems as though Mzansi is still not warming up to Babalwa M's performances. The Amapiano singer recently performed at Max's Lifestyle in Umlazi, Durban.

In a viral video by Audio Lab, Babalwa performed Kelvin Momo's hit song Sisukakude, in which she is the lead singer. Dressed in jean shorts and a black top, Babalwa attempted to sway the crowd, who seemed flat.

SA drags Babalwa M

The star likes to switch things up when it comes to her shows. She occasionally wears street wear or casual looks on stage. At some point, Nota Baloyi gave the star advice on how to look more appealing. She switched things up during Kelvin Momo's Red Bull Symphonic show, where she wore a pink dress and heels, something Nota approved.

"They are lost. They have no idea what she is doing."
