Makhadzi claims Venda man got attacked

In a lengthy X post, Makhadzi said when she arrived in Gauteng in 2014, she was forced to learn how to adjust and speak IsiZulu. She then expressed concern over the alleged harassment when the man was asked to produce his ID to prove his identity.

"Why is it getting here now? I came to Gauteng in 2014. It took me 2 years to understand Zulu. My lecturer would speak Zulu in a class, and I had to learn it then. I thought it was a must to know it when you are in Gauteng. My Zulu borothers please, let’s find a new way to approach this illegal foreigners thing. It must not go to the extent where we people from Limpopo are forced to know Zulu; let it be a choice, not a must," she cried.

Makhadzi ruffled many feathers when she said speaking Zulu is equivalent to committing a crime.

"I never thought not knowing Zulu was a crime in South Africa," she boldly stated.

Makhadzi quickly deleted the post, that was because of the immense backlash. In the post, she further said that as June 30 is approaching, she is fearful for her fellow Vhavenda.

"It really pained me seeing my brother being harassed like this just because he is new in Gauteng and he does not know how to speak Zulu. For the fact that I know him personally, I am so emotional, I am worried that on the 30th of June, you're going to chase also Vhavenda in South Africa, or you're going to kill us. Now, this is too much. Please tell us where we belong so we can go on the 30th. We are scared," she expressed.

Many people dragged Makhadzi. One person, @CpartyK, said:

"Truly, South Africa has no celebrities! Makhadzi should be using her voice for change in our country, but instead she is pushing this narrative!"

Jacinta credited for creating jobs

In a previous report from Briefly News, activist Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma was credited by an X user for creating jobs with the March and March movement. This came after many people downplayed her impact in the job creation, as far as the youth are concerned.

The youth have been urged to support her as a fan said she helped her brother get a job at a restaurant.
