Makhadzi, the award-winning singer, is poised to make her mark on the big screen as she portrays herself in the upcoming e.TV drama, Isiphetho. This exciting venture marks her debut in the world of acting.
Real name: Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, Makhadzi will showcase her acting prowess by playing a fictionalized version of herself on the show. The production team at Isiphetho has confirmed that she has already completed her scenes and will appear alongside seasoned actors, including former The Wife star Mbalenhle Mavimbela and Linda Sokhulu.
In a statement shared with Sunday World, the production revealed that Makhadzi’s cameo appearance aligns with the storyline of four friends realizing their dream of opening a restaurant. As the headline act, she will perform two of her hit songs: Matorokisi and her trending single, Letswai.
Isiphetho, set in the heart of Soweto within the community of Mzimhlope, promises to captivate viewers. The show delves into the lives of these four friends, bound by a life-changing secret from their teenage years.
For Makhadzi, this acting deal represents a breath of fresh air. It comes after recent news that she was unable to reach a settlement with The Kicks Brand, leading to a pretrial alongside her former record label, Open Mic Productions.
