Makhadzi comes to Dr Malinga’s rescue

Makhadzi is trending on Twitter following her including Dr Malinga on what was supposed to be her one woman show.

Makhadzi wrote a tweet wanting to help Dr Malinga after she saw an interview he recently did detailing how he has lost everything. She wrote ‘I would like Dr Malinga to come perform at my one woman show. I sent a DM for sure he didn’t see it. I really want to support him from bottom of my heart. Anyone with management contacts please DM me. ‘

The musician then returned to Twitter to inform her followers that she was successful in getting hold of Dr Malinga and that she promised not to exploit him, but help him since she related to how easy it is for musicians to fall off.

‘I finally got Dr Malinga. I promise to not exploit him but to share the little I have with him. God must bless and protect us artists. We have been going through a lot during COVID-19, we all suffered. ‘

Many tweeps applauded Makhadzi for this kind deed.
