The award-winning musician, whose real name is Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, said she is relieved to be returning to South Africa after spending three days in the neighbouring country.
Makhadzi’s situation attracted widespread attention after she raised concerns about being unable to leave Botswana amid a contractual dispute with a local promoter.
The matter reportedly involved disagreements over a performance agreement, with allegations surrounding the handling of her travel documents and personal belongings.
The Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) confirmed that it had intervened through the South African High Commission in Gaborone to assist the singer and her team.
Following the intervention, Makhadzi and her team were confirmed safe and back at their hotel before arrangements were made for her return to South Africa.
