2021 has been an exceptional year for Limpopo-born singer Makhadzi. The 25-year-old released her fifth album African Queen and launched her own line of sportswear with Kicks Sportswear. Here is a look at some of her biggest moments from 2021.
MAKHADZI’S ‘KOKOVHA’ SNEAKER
Cassper Nyovest wasn’t the only South African artist signing multi-million rand deals this year. Makhadzi scored herself a R120 million deal with Kicks Sportswear. The Ghanama hitmaker worked with the brand to create a line of apparel, sneakers and accessories.
Kicks Sportswear founder Sammy Mhaule mentioned that the clothing line was inspired by Makhadzi’s 2020 album Kokovha.
“My intentions are clear that we need to drive the idea of partnership and collaboration. This way it is possible to change the circle of poverty for good and impact as many people as possible.”
“Makhadzi is a rare gem with so much energy and talent. She is enthusiastic about her craft and is willing to put in the work. “
