South African musician Makhadzi’s love-hate relationship with Zimbabwe continues, after she recently walked off stage less than five minutes into her set after a concert goer threw a bottle at her.
Makhadzi was performing at the Kadoma Music Festival, held at the Odyssey over the weekend.
Also on the bill for that show was Jah Prayzah, Alick Macheso and Winky D, who Makhadzi also recently clashed with in the UK, much to the ire of his Zimbabwean fans.
In a video circulating on social media, Makhadzi is interrupted in the middle of her routine by a bottle which is flung from the crowd. Makhadzi had been on stage less than five minutes when the missile was tossed towards her.
Okay guys, bye-bye. Thank you very much,” she said as she walked off the stage.
As the crowd grumbled at her sudden desire to leave the stage, Makhadzi is heard saying she cannot continue to perform when things are being thrown on-stage.
“No, but you can’t throw bottles here. You can’t do that, thank you.”
In the same video, Makhadzi is seen backstage with her manager, Maphuti Mothapo, and Zimbabwean producer Mr Brown (Lynol Siwela), surrounded by security and others believed to be the event promoters.
In an interview with City Press, Mathapo said Makhadzi had decided to walk away because she did not feel secure. The singer later returned to finish her set.
“The reason she got off the stage was safety issues. We spoke with the promoters, and they guaranteed us safety and provided more security during her performance. After that, the performance was great. She performed a full set for an hour,” she said.
On social media, some interpreted Makhadzi’s decision to walk away as evidence that there was still lingering ill-feelings over a recent tour, which saw her express her disgruntlement with Winky D.
Makhadzi complained that she had to share 40 minutes with another artist (Jah Prayzah), which led to her performing for 10 minutes after Winky D took to the stage for an hour and a half.
“That whole show was planned to promote certain artists with our names. It’s not a secret that people bought tickets because of me and Jah Prayzah.
“They forced me to go to the BBC; I obliged. I promoted the show; people bought tickets at the last minute, and they were sold out,” she said.
But why should people be allowed to throw those bottles at her??.
Laddious Mhosva allowed by who
Marcus Aerilus Cool Ruler is their no security in those concepts
Laddious Mhosva
Laddious Mhosva security or not nobody is allowed to do that, it comes from a dump minded person so yu cant stop that
Marcus Aerilus Cool Ruler I agree with you there so the law must take its course because are marketing our country like that.
Laddious Mhosva allowed nani
Laddious Mhosva who could apprehend the Makorokoza? Even the ZRP details dread going near the artisanal miners.
Marcus Aerilus Cool Rulerwhy u guys didn’t discipline that person bcz he is sending a wrong message about your country as a South African I for sure u are not violent nation.South Africans are violent buy they are not going to throw bottle to any singer at stage
Laddious Mhosva coz ndewekumama
Laddious Mhosva allowed by Who 🤔We as Gafa fans we can do what we feel according to your performance 🤣🤣🤣
Laddious Mhosva why do ban gaffa shows n awards nomination??

Laddious Mhosva we do want we want in our country, with our money, so if we bought tickets for the show and someone like little Mkdzi have a beef before, with the GOAT Winky D Gaffa,and she do not apologize in front of us. Surely we throw bottles
Junior Scotch kkkkkkkkk
After all, her music is valueless
King Herod Sibanda, it’s of no value to you. Plenty of others find much satisfaction in her music.
Warren Gapara we don’t have the same tastes. I find her mus music a hip of crap
King Herod Sibanda, that’s fine. So, specify that you find her music of no value. You. Thousands of others feel quite differently.
Warren Gapara that’s why we are different. I don’t value h3 music at all and I really despise any adult who thinks that crap is music.
King Herod Sibanda it’s very normal, even Jesus failed to impress all so that’s not makhadzi’s problem that you distaste her music
King Herod Sibanda, you “despise any adult who thinks that crap is music” that’s fine. No problem with that. Just be aware that you’re equally much despised and viewed with contempt by many other adults for saying her music is crap.
Warren Gapara yaa like me n my wife
Warren Gapara crap is crap. It’s music to you and those other adults. Let think whatever, but that’s crap.
King Herod Sibanda, it’s not as if your view and feelings are universally accepted. There are plenty others who see what you like as pure crap. Who’s to say what you prefer is what everyone else must like? Go ahead and enjoy your preferences and leave other people to enjoy what they want. You’re not the gold standard for measuring musical tastes.
King Herod Sibanda its valueless to you, then don’t attend her concerts.. That would be better than being a moron. I would also walk away, and never set my foot there again. Respect goes along way.
King Herod Sibanda u are just a bitter failed loser.. deal with ur failures head on n stop projecting ur anger in the wrong direction
King Herod Sibanda one man’s meat is another man’s poison.Uka ziva izvozvo uno batsirika
Mogoai Thabo I think makhadzi is ginius ND very intelligent because she did things better way than you try to say if you walk away ND not coming back ts still you who is gonna loose money because of one person look at burnna boy aftr he said he will never come to South Africa that year, now he wanted to come here but he failed to sell even qoeter of tickets to fill fnb , remember um not say you are wrong but makhadzi she takes a good decision for her funds
King Herod Sibanda But she is richer than all Zim artists with he valueless music

Douglas Sithole if it’s rotten music keep to yo big head than to critise abanye abanthu, respect baba
Douglas Sithole 😂😂😂😂😂 kwaaaaa
Douglas Sithole kwaaaaa so you think you will escape insults because your wife is a South African kwaaaa…no one will insults you my dear brother 😂😂😂🤣
Menzi Xolani Skhosana do not use the word ROTTEN,This is Zim we are not Amapiano materials..we want music,otherways my brother go stay with your south African wife and enjoy Amapiano
Trust Hawana tell him bafo
Asingeni ndawo thina entweni zabo Makhadzi labantu bakubo lapho akade eyekhona. Thina labo Freddie Gwala bethu sipholile, simnandi. Akutshe khonale koNkwankwarara!
Mukadzi anoridza memory card
Let her come to matebeland she will never wanna go back to SA….We can vibe with her
Zvakwana akomana inga atri kuedza kureformer pawink akuziva kuti akabhaiza
Zimbabweans are showing unacceptable behavior at local shows. This is so disappointing especially for a nation relies on outside nations for employment opportunities.
Azon Twala she should do good things…not kuridza disc … people like live performance
Patrick Makoni, there’s no justification in throwing a bottle at her. Suppose she’d suffered an injury and sued the promoters? Who was going to lose? As for the one throwing the missile, if he’d been found, he’d be behind bars right now
Ther is only one reason why a bottle was thrown at her!
If one is to have a gig in the Northern part of Zimbabwe(Mashonaland)to be ptecise,do not have supporting acts like for example Jah Prayzah to play before you because those people love their music sungura and when it’s your turn and you introduce amapiano aaaah! shame your music would be “nonsense”?
Hope.you got it right!
Collen Sibanda but those people went there knowing she will be part of the act
Collen Sibanda so which types of music is the favorite of Southern part of Zimbabwe
Yes she must know that kadoma is not Venda 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wayne Willo true mawillo
Pple must respect her.good entertainer.she is not concerned about Zim politics. Show your anger to ZANU 😀😁😂🤣
