Makhadzi has successfully hosted her One Woman Show at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
The multi-award winning musician hosted her show featuring a star studded line up including the likes of Gigi Lamayne, DJ Tira, Zola 7, Malaika, Nkosazana Daughter, Lwah Ndlunkulu and Sho Madjozi to list a few.
Attendees filled the new Peter Mokaba stadium in huge numbers just to support the superstar’s second one woman show but her first locally. Makhadzi previously filled a stadium in Botswana hosting her first one woman show.
Makhadzi had no aerial stunts this time for her big performance but made a grand entrance that had all eyes on her at the stadium.
In October, Makhadzi expressed frustration that R&B singer Chris Brown’s concert tickets, for his upcoming performance at FNB Stadium this December, sold out in just two hours. The "Matorokisi" hitmaker complained about her own slower ticket sales in comparison.
On the day of her one woman show, however, ticket sales were hardly a worry as people came out in their numbers to support the musician.
“#MakhadziOneWomanShow a HUGE success 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 From selling fruits in the streets to filling up stadiums 🔥🔥🔥Congrats well done 🥳 @makhadzisa,” wrote DJ Tira.
Sho Madjozi praised Makhadzi’s efforts: “This is not a label, this is not built by executives somewhere, this is sheer ambition, sheer drive and power. An artist that is for and by the people.”

Gigi Lamayne thanked Makhadzi for trusting her to perform by her side: “Thank you for trusting me by your side. I love you and I'm super proud of you @MakhadziSA ❤️🤍❤️🤍🥹 History made! What a night!”
While many people had great things to say about Makhadzi’s one woman show not everyone was happy, especially those who found themselves waiting outside the gates for hours before being let into the stadium.
@dimakatsochris detailed on X their experience: “We have suffered honestly .. all that we wanted to do was to have fun but having to stand outside for three hours to a point that people are pushing each other , all the favourite artist that we wanted to see performed while we are outside #MakhadziOneWomanShow”.

@B_Mabalane said: “What a disorganized event. Something that was supposed to start at 12pm now going for 5pm, no update, still camping outside. @MakhadziSA see this is why we will not fill up Peter Mokaba Stadium. Your team let you down big time. #MakhadziOneWomanShow”.
