"We have a lot of events in Katlehong, and I made sure to go to most of the events and ask for votes. I even campaigned at events held by political parties. I make pamphlets and handed them out encouraging people vote for someone that's local trying to make it big."

Briefly News previously reported that Makhadzi is a South African artist who is always prepared to put on a show-stopping performance, so the difficulties she encountered in showcasing herself in that manner at #SAMA28 upset her.

The energetic performer criticised #SAMA28 organisers in since-deleted tweets posted by controversial blogger Musa Khawula. Makhadzi said she was denied the opportunity to rehearse with the camera operators as she wanted her performance to cater to the needs of the audience in the room as well as those watching on TV.

Makhadzi also addressed being snubbed by the SAMA but finally receiving one at this year's ceremony. The Ghanama hitmaker said that someone must have written her name on the envelope by accident.
