Award-winning Limpopo singer Makhadzi has confirmed that she will be stepping away from live performances for the next ten weeks as she focuses on recovering from injuries sustained in a recent accident. The announcement marks a significant pause for an artist celebrated for her high-energy shows, relentless touring schedule, and commanding stage presence.
According to the star, medical advice has made it clear that rest is no longer optional. “From the treatment I have been receiving from my doctor, she advised that from all the injuries, I will have to remain at home for 10 weeks without performing,” Makhadzi revealed. The news comes as a major adjustment for the performer, who is known for pushing through physical exhaustion to meet her commitments to fans.
Despite the setback, Makhadzi’s message to supporters was one of strength, faith, and optimism. “I know myself — I am a soldier, and I believe God is still going to do a miracle. I am slowly recovering well and trusting the process,” she shared. Her words reflected not only physical healing, but also mental and spiritual resilience in the face of uncertainty.

One of the singer’s deepest fears after the accident was the possibility of losing her voice — the very instrument that has carried her from Limpopo stages to national and international acclaim. Thankfully, she believes that divine protection spared her greatest asset. “I thank God for protecting my voice,” Makhadzi said, expressing profound gratitude and relief.
Rather than viewing the 10-week recovery period as a punishment or loss, the artist sees it as a purposeful pause. “Ten weeks might look like I will be lonely, but I believe God is giving me time to write beautiful melodies and good music,” she explained. While fans may miss seeing her live, Makhadzi has made it clear that she will not be inactive during this time.
The singer plans to channel her energy into studio work, using the enforced rest to create and record new material. “I won’t be performing, but I will be in the studio doing what He saved me for,” she said, framing her survival as a second chance to focus on her calling. Her recovery, she believes, is not an ending but a redirection.
In a poignant closing reflection, Makhadzi acknowledged the seriousness of the accident and the fragility of life, expressing gratitude for “a second chance to breathe.” The statement resonated deeply with fans, many of whom have followed her journey from humble beginnings to stardom.
Since sharing her update, social media has been flooded with messages of support from fans, fellow musicians, and public figures. Many praised her humility, courage, and unwavering faith, encouraging her to prioritize her health above all else.
As Makhadzi focuses on healing and rebuilding her strength, the nation waits patiently for her return. Supporters remain hopeful that when she steps back onto the stage, she will do so renewed — carrying music shaped by survival, gratitude, and an unbreakable spirit.
