FELI Nandi is set to share the stage with South African superstar Makhadzi for the first time.
She is scheduled to perform at the One-Woman Show in Limpopo.
The collaboration marks yet another milestone in Feli’s growing regional footprint.
It follows a year in which she has broken barriers, including becoming the only Zimbabwean performer at this year’s Eswatini Bushfire Festival.
Her manager, Connie Mazani, said the upcoming performance is more than a debut collaboration but it is a symbolic meeting of cultures.
“It’s the first time sharing a stage with Makhadzi.
“We’re excited for the opportunity to take Zimbabwean music to spaces where it’s not just a predominantly Zimbabwean audience.
“We see this as a special platform to take Zim music to the world,” she said.
Makhadzi’s One-Woman Show, scheduled for December 20 and 21, is set for Makhuvha Stadium and Rabali Stadium in Limpopo.
The event has been positioned as a celebration of powerful African women in music, with a star-studded line-up that includes DJ Zinhle, Shandesh and Nomcebo Zikode.
Speaking during the launch in Thohoyandou, Makhadzi said the show is designed to uplift her home community while inspiring young artists to dream big.
“Charity begins at home. I’ll never forget where I come from, that’s why I chose to launch at home with the people who believed in me first,” she said.
“The first phase introduces the strong, powerful women who inspire me.
“Only female artists, bold, powerful, and proudly African.
“This show is about honouring the voices that are shaping the future.”
Makhadzi, who rose from performing at taxi ranks to become one of Africa’s biggest stars, will also run a football tournament as part of the pre-event activities.
This year’s edition of the One-Woman Show will be hosted by South African media personality Somizi Mhlongo.
For Feli Nandi, sharing the stage with Makhadzi comes at a time when her brand continues to flourish beyond Zimbabwe’s borders, solidifying her place among the region’s rising musical powerhouses.
