It looks like multi-grant winning performer Makhadzi is emulating Dj Tira’s example by completely embracing her Zimbabwean roots.

After declaring on Facebook that she is proudly Zimbabwean, Makhadzi charmed Zimbabweans.

As they embraced her, Zimbabweans took to the comment section and lavished her with affection and praise.

Makhadzi’s admission that she is Zimbabwean came just a few days after she performed at a concert in Kadoma in Zimbabwe.

She also recently worked on a song called Luvhone with contemporary musician Jah Prayzah from Zimbabwe.

In the meantime, Dj Tira, a South African musician, is another celebrity who charmed Zimbabweans when he used his Zimbabwean name.

Following his visit to Zimbabwe, some Zimbabwean pranksters altered the award-winning music producer’s Wikipedia profile, causing his fans to become confused about his nationality.

Dirarizare Marufu, better known by his stage name DJ Tira, is a South African DJ, record producer, and Kwaito artist who was born on August 24, 1976.

Tira moved to Durban when she was three years old, having been born in Chegutu. He is a member of the group that discovered Gqom music.

His musical career began in 1996 when he was 20 years old; while he was a student at NUST in Bulawayo, he got a record deal, and in 2001, he put out the compilation album Real Makoya.

Surprisingly, DJ Tira did not react negatively; rather, he accepted his Zimbabwean name and gave the impression that he supported it.

The producer who has won awards took to Instagram and posted a picture of his edited Wikipedia page with his Zimbabwean name on it.

He wrote, captioning the image:

“Welcome Mr. Marufu.”

Dj Tira occasionally refers to himself with pride as Mr. Marufu.
