Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport was buzzing with excitement when BET Award winner Ndivhudzannyi “Makhadzi” Ralivhona touched down on Wednesday morning.
Makhadzi won the prestigious Viewers’ Choice: Best New International Act award on Sunday in Los Angeles.
When Makhadzi arrived at the airport, beaming with excitement while holding the award high, she was welcomed with applause from fans and family, cheering praises and ululating while chanting “Makhadzi, Makhadzi”.
The Limpopo-born star expressed her excitement about the award and said her hard work was finally paying off.
“I deserved this, I worked hard for this. I’m here today because of the hard work I put in. I used to perform in taverns, but because I’ve always believed in myself and loved my craft, I’m here with support of my fans,” she said.
“Now my price is going up. They must watch out. We are going for a Grammy next!”
