Makhadzi Strikes Again with Her Broken English But Mzansi Is Not Having It

South African musician and dancer Makhadzi has once again set social media abuzz with her broken English.

Jumping on the controversy surrounding fast-rising Amapiano star Scotts Maphuma, who has been under fire for snubbing fans and making controversial remarks, Makhadzi took to social media to defend him and asked Mzansi to forgive him.

However, instead of supporting her call for unity, many were distracted by her poor grammar and broken English—prompting some to threaten to “cancel” her instead
