What are your thoughts on musicians like Shimza and Makhadzi performing at political rallies? Do you believe it can be detrimental to mix business with politics? Performing in rallies is good money for now but might make a few sensitive people stop supporting your music in the long run….especially if you perform for one party clearly showing your support for that particular party…I’d advise them to also do other parties.

This is the question being asked by people after country after seeing Dj Shimza and Makhadzi performing at the ANC Campaign. Makhadzi was also part of the invitation after where she received shocking blackish from her fans.

With caption: “No one will ever refuse an invitation from the president of the Country himseld. Y’all will dress to impress hau…”

Brenda Fassie was once also ANC supporter and she received numerous supporters during her time before sje passed away. This proves that no one will ever refuse an invitation from the president of the Country himseld. They are all will dress to impress hau…

In Brenda Fassies time ANC represented liberation for THE PEOPLE. In these times, ANC does not represent anything positive. They are just using u for y energy and power over people. You can’t compare yourself to Brenda Fassie, Brenda was using her voice for the masses, not gigs.

Brenda performed when ANC was still ANC and had integrity,this ANC is not the same,this ANC is worse than Apartheid regime. You supporting means you endorse the oppression of black people, I’m really disappointed in you Makhadzi. She’s even wearing its regalia to make things worse.
 

 

We are facing far worse oppression, corruption, poverty and unemployment under ANC government than we were under Apartheid regime. Police brutally is the same as the one of Apartheid government and mzansi think that Makhadzi support all that

By Makhadzi to wear it’s regalia and post about it, it means she’s urging her fans to support ANC in this upcoming election. She was invited by the President of the the country , it’s an honour…if mzansi have a problem with that then deal with it. Mzansi’s disappointment will never change the price of petrol. Focus on ur career my nigga, Makhadzi is only honouring an invite, she isn’t going to the voting station.

Wearing a party regalia could cause musicians to lose its supporters even if you are ANC member but you must respect your supporters. Makhadzi has been encouraged by her fans to leave politics to politicians.

This is true however, Twitter is not a representation of the Country’s average population, things that offend or please Twelebs don’t elicit the same response to average folks. Are you seeing headlines, breaking news, nope because the real citizens don’t care. But reality is people who stream music are on Twitter, people who book those artist are on Twitter, the rest of the citizens do not even give a fuck about them, so after all Twitter population matters the most to artists. Twitter can make you lose a multi-million rands Nandos sponsorship, lose your job, lose gigs bookings, business support
