SOUTH AFRICA – Christmas might have passed but South African musician Makhadzi is still spreading some cheer among her fans, after she announced that she would be sponsoring 20 students who are struggling to pay their registration fees for the upcoming academic year.
While some envy her stardom and the fame that resultantly comes with it, Makhadzi took to social media to inform her followers that she regarded education as a key to success.
“Are you a student struggling to register for the 2025 academic year? I would like to assist 20 students by covering their registration fees!” she wrote in the public statement.
“Education is the key to success, and I would love to lend a hand to open doors! Let’s build a brighter future together,” she said.
She urged interested students to send proof of acceptance from any institution, along with a motivation explaining why they should be chosen.
The offer comes only a few months after Makhadzi revealed that she was struggling with financial issues of her own.
A few months ago, she was embroiled in tax-related matters, with reports suggesting she owed Sars R6.6m. However, with the help of a tax consultant, the amount was reduced to R2.7m.
At the time, Makhadzi spoke kindly about the financial woes that had seen her approach a loan shark just to attend the BET awards.
“I’m going through a lot, but I believe in myself and my career,” Makhadzi said. “I want to help others achieve their goals, even if it means making sacrifices.”
