The young singer’s achievement was met with overwhelming support and congratulatory messages from fellow celebrities and fans alike. DJ Lady Du celebrated her with the words: “There is so much more that you’re going to do, starting at home is big.” Singer Nomfundo Moh also showed love, saying: “Well done mama. God bless you Kwande.” Content creator Sibongile Kajane added her support, writing: “I’m so proud of you my baby.”

Naledi also shared the same video on TikTok, where she gave her fans an inspiring message of gratitude. In her caption, she wrote: “Big girl, big moves. Please continue supporting me, I am going to do really big things at home. I wouldn’t have been here if you guys weren’t here to support me.”

Her video sparked conversations online, with one user, @Tha Ndii, commenting: “Lapho siyalingana nkosi,” which means “and we’re the same age.” The comment highlighted how rare it is for an 18-year-old to achieve something so significant.

Naledi, however, responded with kindness and encouragement. She wrote: “Don’t feel any pressure, maybe wena your parents can do all that for you, maybe unaye umama unkulunkulu akasibeki ezimeni ezifanayo. I’m the only person who can do this ekhaya ingakho angipha lomsebenzi engiwenzayo nawe uzoba namandla one day.”

Translated, her message means: “Don’t feel any pressure. Maybe your parents can do all that for you, maybe you have a mother and God doesn’t put you in the same situations. I’m the only person who can do this at home, that’s why I was given this work I’m doing. One day you will also have strength.”

Naledi’s story has inspired many, proving that age is not a barrier when it comes to hard work, determination, and love for family.
