June 30 was a memorable day for many South Africans, especially fans of the singer Makhadzi, for she celebrated her birthday on that day. She also posted about her birthday but made it a point to exclude her age.
Still, her age was of great interest to many South Africans, many of whom were shocked that – as revealed by others – he turned 28 on June 30, meaning she was born in 1996.
For most of those who reacted to her age, she looked way younger than her 28 years. Some tried to explain that her “agelessness” was the result of her riches, which put her in a position to buy anything to enhance her looks and look younger.
It might be said that Makhadzi has indeed come a long way as a singer and earned her stripes, too. At some point, she was an unknown figure. But she had a vision of where she wanted to be and had the faith to pursue the same.
The result has been massive growth, from being a singer in an obscure group to becoming one of the most potent female voices in South African music. That’s the story of Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, long famous by her adopted stage name of Makhadzi.
