Congratulatory messages have been pouring in for the singer.
Sammy (the owner of Kicks Sportswear) also posted on his Instagram explaining why he chose Makhadzi.
“My intentions are clear that we need to drive the idea of partnership and collaboration. This way it is possible to change the circle of poverty for good and impact as many people as possible.
“Over the past weeks we perfected our deal to make sure we both sit at the table. We also know that we will need all the support we can get from you as we are about to embark on an incredible journey.
