Makhadzi Says She Is Being Held Hostage in Botswana Amid Dispute With Promoter
South African singer Makhadzi says she has been stranded in Botswana since Saturday and is being held against her will.
In a live social media video, the award-winning artist alleged that Botswana promoter Gilbert “PP Wa Pimp” Seagile took her passport, car and belongings amid a financial dispute over a previous performance and promotional work for her upcoming One Woman Show.
Seagile has worked with Makhadzi since at least 2023, when his company, Gilbert Promotions, was appointed to handle her bookings and business dealings in Botswana.
Makhadzi’s One Woman Show is scheduled for 24 December 2026 at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
