Nhlanhla pens emotional tribute to Ciza after winning MMA26

Nhlanhla Mafu has shared a heartfelt message celebrating her son, Ciza, following his big win at the Metro FM Music Awards 2026.

Taking to social media, the proud mother posted a photo of the rising star and reflected on the journey that led to his moment of recognition, highlighting the dedication and sacrifices behind his success.

“@ciza.sa We have witnessed the late nights, the discipline, the tears, and the faith you have poured into your gift. We have watched you work in silence… so today, we celebrate you loudly,” she wrote.

Ciza, who walked away with two major honours on the night, has quickly become one of the standout names in the industry, and Nhlanhla made it clear that his achievements are the result of hard work rather than chance.

“These awards are not luck, they are answered prayers. I stand proud, knowing that this is what God has ordained,” she added.

In her message, she also reflected on the spiritual significance of his success, expressing gratitude and acknowledging what she described as divine timing in his rise.

“God saw you. And in His perfect time, He honored you. So today, I don’t argue, I give thanks. Because what God gives, no one can take away.”

She concluded the tribute by thanking fans for their support while celebrating her son’s milestone moment.

“Proud is an understatement, well done my baby and a Big thank you to all the Caesareans that voted✨💫🌟…. #MMA26 Ciza to the world.”
