There were mixed emotions on Twitter after the singer Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, also known as Makhadzi, posted

@Mrhandsome_za

Cyril Ramaphosa is destroying Makhadzi’s brand by involving her in politics. The ANC criminals will do anything to convince people to vote for them. They do not care about anyone. They just want votes.

@Mtwanaxabiso

Artists can learn a thing or two from Zahara. She also used to attend almost all ANC rallies. But eventually she realised that the ANC is oppressing the people of South Africa. She decided to distance herself from them because she has good moral virtues. @Munyaipleasure

Makhadzi is not the first to perform at an ANC events why are you guys so bitter as if she was voting for ANC?

@Senamelathabo

I will not be part of the intolerance on our artists. They are human beings who need to survive. Makhadzi is trying to make a living and her political choice ought to be respected. EFF members should never be tempted to adapt the ANC stupid behaviour.

@Cartermakaz

If it happens that some of you get the presidential invite I bet you would not sleep, thinking about what you would wear that day. Leave Makhadzi alone, did you want her to refuse? Who would not want to see the president face to face? After all, meeting the president is not voting.

@E_thokozile

“Makhadzi is irresponsible”. We have been voting for the same political party for the last 27 years but she is the irresponsible one? The audacity is nauseating. We graduate to unemployment but she is irresponsible? Just say you do not like her and leave it there.

I am disappointed to learn that the ANC is now riding on the back of Makhadzi. After they have used her, they are going to dump her like rubbish the same way they did with Zahara.

@Topthestreets

Makhadzi is loyal to her pockets, our death means happiness and more gigs to her. She is not different from advertising poison. I removed her music on my playlists. Limpopo is one of the poorest provinces led by ANC for 27 years and here we are, Makhadzi drinking our blood.

@Chrisexcel102

Shimza, Tira and Pearl Thusi were dragged for associating themselves with ANC. Makhadzi visits the President wearing ANC colours and all of the sudden artists have a right to do what they want... how nice. @shonny_sa
