MAKHADZI WINS BIG Makhadzi was nominated for three awards at the DStv Mzansi Viewers Choice Awards but walked away with the Favourite Artist/Group Award and Favourite Song Award for her mega-hit featuring Prince Benza, Ghanama.
Accepting her award for Favourite Music Artist/Group, Makhadzi thanked DStv, adding that she had performed at the awards show in March 2020, one week before the COVID-19 lockdown.

I asked and begged to perform on this stage because I knew [that] one day is one day, said the 25-year-old muso.
Whether they come as one or two just know that these artists make sure the groovists come alive on the dance floor.
