Makhadzi performs at Netball WC finale in front of President

Performer and dancer Ndivhudzannyi ‘Makhadzi’ Ralivhona got to live her dream when she not only performed at the Netball World Cup finale in Cape Town, but got to do it in front of the President of the Republic of South Africa, President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In a room full of high profile people from different parts of the world, Makhadzi showcased her talent, even making some move to her tunes.

The finale, which recently concluded, saw Australia and England battle it out for the big title. Australia came out victorious on a 61-45 win, claiming the title for the 12th time in a row.

Sharing this moment with her followers, Makhadzi penned down a heartfelt message:

“Last night I cried so much guys??? I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who have shown me support all these years. Firstly, God is the greatest, for all His grace. Then my day 1 fans who have been with me through the hard and the nice times. Thank you so much guys, I am here because of what you do for me. I also just want to thank myself for being me.
