Angry Online Users Attempt to Boycott Makhadzi's Upcoming One Woman Show Following Controversy

• Makhadzi's upcoming One Woman Show has been hit with some negativity following her views on the recent attacks on the Tsonga people
• After receiving immense backlash on social media, Makhadzi tried to divert the attention to her December concert, but it backfired
• Despite many people turning their backs on Makhadzi, her fans have come to her defence and said she is forgiven

Award-winning singer Makhadzi received immense backlash after claiming that a Venda man was attacked for not knowing how to speak IsiZulu in Gauteng, while he was working. In a lengthy X post, Makhadzi asked if her people would be under attack as the 30 June marches take place.

She got dragged for inciting tribalistic wars with her sentiments. Makhadzi then tried to prove her claims by using the death of 19-year-old Nhlamulo Sambo in Mossel Bay, after his supposed family members said he was killed for being a Tsonga man.

Promoting her upcoming One Woman Show at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on 24 December 2026, Makhadzi shared the official poster and rallied her Khadzinators to purchase their tickets.

However, the comments were so mean that she was forced to remove the post, along with some of her previous ones speaking about the alleged tribalism. People have resorted to trying to boycott Makhadzi; however, her fanbase strongly came to her defence.

"Noo this is hush. She apologised, and it’s unfair to punish people because of their views."
