Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport was a hive of activity on Wednesday morning as the beloved Limpopo-born star, Ndivhudzannyi “Makhadzi” Ralivhona, touched down after her victorious win at the BET Awards. The atmosphere was electric as fans and family gathered to celebrate her achievement, chanting her name and ululating in joy. This is according to Tshisa LIVE.
Makhadzi, who won the prestigious Viewers’ Choice: Best New International Act award on Sunday in Los Angeles, arrived at the airport beaming with pride. Holding her award high, she was met with applause and cheers from her adoring supporters. Her journey from humble beginnings to international recognition is nothing short of inspirational.
“I deserved this, I worked hard for this. I’m here today because of the hard work I put in,” Makhadzi said, reflecting on her journey. “I used to perform in taverns, but because I’ve always believed in myself and loved my craft, I’m here with the support of my fans.”
Her triumph at the BET Awards marks a significant milestone in her career, and Makhadzi is already setting her sights on even greater heights. “Now my price is going up. They must watch out. We are going for a Grammy next!” she declared with determination.
In a heartfelt revelation, Makhadzi shared that she had to borrow money to attend the awards ceremony due to a debt owed to the South African Revenue Service. Despite this financial strain, she remained steadfast in her belief and faith. “God was with me. I think he felt the pain I was in as I had to take out my last money and he blessed me with this award so I could make that money times 20. It’s all about being patient and believing in yourself.”
Makhadzi’s story is a testament to resilience and self-belief. Her message to her fans is clear: “Black child, you must believe in yourself, believe in your dreams, stay true to yourself, and everything is possible. I think I’m a miracle child. If you know where I started and where I come from until today, God brought me to this world so that those who don’t believe in his miracles can believe.”
As she embarks on the next chapter of her career, Makhadzi’s journey continues to inspire and uplift. Her triumphant return is a beacon of hope for all who dare to dream, proving that with hard work and faith, anything is possible.
