I did receive your blessings. We are going to bring back home.
“I’m so happy, I’m someone who started music from the streets and today I’m here, my dream just came true. I’m just speechless, all I can say is, it’s possible black child to make it,” she continued.True to Tshivenḓa culture, Makhadzi bowed down when she accepted her award.

Makhadzi beat the United Kingdowm’s Bellah and Cristale, French group Holly G, Nigeria’s Seyi Vibes and South Africa’s Tyler ICU.“Guys, I did not prepare anything, but I just wanna say thank you so much to my tigers, my family, my team.
