Multi-award-winning star Makhadzi is making headlines against the backdrop of her birthday. The star recently turned a year older, and Mzansi quickly flooded her social media feeds with warm birthday wishes.
With an illustrious career spanning years, she has quickly become one of the most sought-after stars in South Africa. Makhadzi has headlined several shows worldwide and has shared the stage with some of the world’s best acts.
MAKHADZI’S AGE REVEALED ON HER BIRTHDAY
Despite her big wins, she has kept her age under wraps, leaving many to guess how she is. The post has gained thousands of comments and reactions since it dropped on the internet.
However, Makhadzi’s age left Mzansi puzzled. The 28-year-old star singer was born on 30 June 1996 in a small village called Ha-Mashamba Tshivhangani, just outside Elim in Limpopo province. Many were more than convinced that she was younger than she looked.
She joins a host of celebrities who recently celebrated their birthdays. Award-winning actress Sophie Ndaba turned 51 on 29 June. However, celebrated rapper and reality TV host Jub Jub turned 44.
CAREER
She started singing at a younger age. At 13, she performed at Taxi ranks before joining a musical group, Makhirikhiri, as a dancer. However, Makhadzi later switched the floor from dancing to music.
As an independent artist, she went on to release three studio albums: Muvhango (2009), Ndo Tshinya Ni? (2011), and Litshani u Ntsala Murahu (2012). On 1 December 2014, she dropped her fourth studio album, Rita Dee.
Against the backdrop of her newfound fame Makhadzi went on to drop two other albums before her breakthrough. In 2019, she dropped her smash hit Matorokisi, and the song topped the charts. Against the release of Matorokisi, she joined Open Mic Productions.
Her first project under the record label was a complete success. Makhadzi’s studio album Kokovha became one of her most streamed projects, and it was certified with a gold plaque.
Since then, she has been winning big and has released several successful projects. Makhadzi has capped her illustrious career with several accolades.
However, the star singer has made millions from her illustrious career and has splurged thousands, if not millions, on her immediate family. She built houses for her family before she bought three properties for herself. Like those before her, Makhadzi has a soft spot for exotic cars and an impressive fleet to show for it.
Despite her big wins, she has had her fair share of drama.
