A short clip of an unforgettable moment which took place backstage at the Netball world cup gala, surfaced on social media and left people talking on the comments section after they noticed what was happening.

As we can see on the post below, the first lady at the line where the president of South Africa was greeted was the well-known singer, performer, composer, and businesswoman makhadzi.

She was so overwhelmed by the experience, as can be seen in the video below, that she had to greet the president in the traditional Venda manner by lying down in front of him. Shortly after, the two can be overheard conversing in Venda, which indicates that they were using their mother tounger ,Venda language.

The president is heard telling Makhadzi, “You excel so much in what you do, and I love it,” to which she replied, “Thank you very much.”Translated from Tshivenda.

As these two embraced their culture despite their image, this clip also serves as a reminder that no matter how well-known you become in life, you should always respect your roots and traditions.
