The Chris Brown Comparison
This week, Makhadzi vented her frustrations on social media, complaining about her slow ticket sales for her one-woman show set for December 21st at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
In her tweet which has caused quite a stir, she pointed out how Chris Brown could fill a 96,000-seater stadium in just two hours – a feat that had locals sort of feeling like sad puppies.
“South Africa ke movie. so, I must take 10 years to sell out Peters Mokaba Stadium tickets? Chris Brown… 2 hours,” she said.

Support Local Talent
Gayton McKenzie’s gesture comes as a rallying cry for South Africans to show their support for homegrown talent. It’s a timely reminder that our music industry thrives best when we rally behind our own artists.
Whether it’s buying tickets or simply promoting their shows on social media, every little gesture counts. Who knows? Maybe Makhadzi’s show will be the blockbuster it deserves to be!
