Makhadzi’s team confirms that she is okay after a suicidal post that scared her fans.
She had her fans in a panic over the weekend when she posted, “I am now ending my life for good. RIP to myself. Please don’t call me no one will answer.” Award-winning performer, Makhadzi, real name Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, deleted the post shortly after posting and went mum. But fans seriously concerned about her following this.
The Marotho singer’s fans suspect that she might be suicidal. They have sent messages of support and encouraging her not to give up. Makhadzi’s manager, Lucky Tshilimandila, has since informed ZiMoja that the Limpopo singer is doing well and has been slightly fatigued. “She has been busy all year long, and it’s a matter of fatigue and just needing rest,” the management shared. “Right now she is getting some rest. She is in contact with a medical specialist and is taking things easy.”
The Water hit-maker is one of the most popular artists in South Africa, known for her songs such as Marotho and MaGear. Her fans flooded her with messages of love and support, urging her not to give up on life.
Makhadzi released her album Mbofholowo as an independent artist in September and has been performing all over the country and the continent. “She is a perfectionist who always wants to please her fans. But she is okay, she is taking care of herself and her mental health,”
Lucky assured. “We are grateful for everyone’s concern and prayers. She values the support. She will be back soon and stronger than ever.” Makhadzi’s post comes after several South African artists have reportedly taken their own lives due to depression and other mental health issues.
Some of them include rapper HHP, Riky Rick, and actor Patrick Shai. Jabulani “HHP” Tsambo had a long history of depression and had tried to kill himself three times before he succeeded.
