In Botswana, Makhadzi runs the risk of being detained and spending time in jail.
Makhadzi, a multi-award-winning South African artist, may be detained in Botswana for nonpayment of debts and a string of missed performances. The Batswana were kind enough to forgive Makhadzi for previous wrongdoings, but they were getting impatient.
When the Ma gear guitarist pulled out of three shows at the last minute, he broke a contract. Makhadzi was planned to perform at three occasions in September: the 29th The People’s Festival in Palapye, the 30th Kumnandi Ekhaya Music Fest in Thamaga, and the 29th Maun Carnival.
She skipped a Gantsi performance in July in favor of a UK performance. Currently, sources claim that court sheriffs in Botswana are preparing to imprison Makhadzi due to her debt of more than P500,000.
According to entertainment reporter Daniel D. K. Kenosi, Makhadzi incurred the debt as a result of missing three performances during Botswana’s independence.
In addition to the debt from the three performances, the Limpopo-born performer owes P160,000 to DC Tours/Hotels for lodging when she held her one-woman show in Botswana.
Vee Mampeezy, a Botswana artist, stood up for Makhadzi in the face of rumors that he would be detained for the debts. Vee Mampeezy stated that the One Woman Show debts should be paid by Gilbert “PP wa Pimp” Seagile, not Makhadzi, who was the promoter who asked her to perform in Botswana.
Additionally, he argued that Open Mic should be held accountable for Makhadzi’s absence from the three September shows because it manages her bookings and performances.
However, Gilbert promoted a one-woman performance in Botswana, as stated by Vee Mampeezy Ok; She was in charge of organizing travel and handling other matters.
The bookings for Makhadzi are handled by open mic, a company.
This indicates that summonses are issued to such businesses rather than the individual defendant in accordance with Botswana law.
Open Mic is also accountable for any necessary refunds and for any improper administration of multiple bookings or other bookings.
Keep in mind that she is just an artist who gets told where to go and where not to go by those businesses before everyone tries to kill her.
