In a statement released on Saturday, Gilbert Promotions said it has been assigned by Makhadzi Entertainment to process all business dealings involving Makhadzi in Botswana. This followed the singer’s separation from Open Mic Productions recently, which means she is now independent and can be selective with her career choices. “The responsibility commences with immediate effect. Kindly note that all bookings will be done straight to Makhadzi Entertainment. Gilbert Promotions will be the advisory body in all business dealings between Makhadzi and clients in Botswana,” read the statement.
Makhadzi, who has enjoyed massive support in Botswana in the past, has recently had a difficult time with local promoters and fans as a result of her failure to honour multiple bookings across the country. Her shenanigans led to one of the popular music festivals, Born and Raised (BnR) withdrawing her from the line-up at the 11th hour after receiving backlash from patrons for including her in the line-up while another local promoter threatened to sue. Some fans were calling for the 'Go Nkga Dikuku' hit maker to be blacklisted to never get bookings for local performances.
