Makhadzi Issues Apology For Durban July 2024 Dress Controversy

This past weekend, the annual Durban July event showcased a myriad of fashion statements from South African celebrities.
Among these, the outfit worn by Makhadzi, a celebrated Limpopo-born singer, sparked considerable debate on social media. While many outfits garnered praise, Makhadzi’s dress became a point of contention for some, leading her to issue a public apology.
Reacting to the mixed reactions, Makhadzi took to her social media to express her apologies.
She explained that the dress was a last-minute arrangement, which left her with limited options to create something grand. Despite the backlash, the BET Award-winning musician chose to join in the humour, demonstrating her ability to laugh at herself.
Makhadzi’s candid and humorous response included a lighthearted critique of her own outfit. She wrote, “So this is me the entire day laughing at myself. I am like I think I was supposed to pose like this and post, no one was gonna notice the curves. Because wooow this curves are not curvering.”
Her message continued with a playful apology to her designer for the last-minute request and a witty remark about her brief stay in America after winning her BET Award.
