Multi-award-winning star Makhadzi is making headlines as she celebrates her birthday. Recently turning 28, Makhadzi, born on 30 June 1996 in Ha-Mashamba Tshivhangani, Limpopo, received warm birthday wishes from fans.

Known for her illustrious career, she started singing at 13 and later released several successful albums, including her breakthrough hit “Matorokisi” in 2019. Her album “Kokovha” under Open Mic Productions was a major success. Makhadzi has built houses for her family and owns three properties and an impressive car fleet.

She started singing at a younger age. At 13, she performed at Taxi ranks before joining a musical group, Makhirikhiri, as a dancer. However, Makhadzi later switched the floor from dancing to music.

As an independent artist, she went on to release three studio albums: Muvhango (2009), Ndo Tshinya Ni? (2011), and Litshani u Ntsala Murahu (2012). On 1 December 2014, she dropped her fourth studio album, Rita Dee.

Against the backdrop of her newfound fame Makhadzi went on to drop two other albums before her breakthrough. In 2019, she dropped her smash hit Matorokisi, and the song topped the charts. Against the release of Matorokisi, she joined Open Mic Productions.

Her first project under the record label was a complete success. Makhadzi’s studio album Kokovha became one of her most streamed projects, and it was certified with a gold plaque.

Since then, she has been winning big and has released several successful projects. Makhadzi has capped her illustrious career with several accolades.

However, the star singer has made millions from her illustrious career and has splurged thousands, if not millions, on her immediate family. She built houses for her family before she bought three properties for herself. Like those before her, Makhadzi has a soft spot for exotic cars and an impressive fleet to show for it.
