Makhadzi,has called for African unity following calls for performances in Zimbabwe to be boycotted.
South African singer Makhadzi has appealed for African unity after reports emerged that some Zimbabwean activists and political figures are calling for South African artists to be boycotted in Zimbabwe.
The backlash comes amid heightened tensions following anti-illegal immigration protests in South Africa and the repatriation of foreign nationals from countries including Ghana, Malawi, Zimbabwe and Nigeria.
Makhadzi, who is scheduled to co-headline the Cheso Power Festival in Zimbabwe on July 31 alongside Alick Macheso in Harare, took to Facebook to share a message promoting unity across the continent.
In a poster shared with her followers, the award-winning performer described herself as “Proudly African” and the “Queen of African Music”, while encouraging solidarity beyond national borders.
