Makhadzi has worked hard to achieve where she is today; she is now one of South Africa’s most influential women and has made a name for herself, but little is known about her, particularly her family.

Makhadzi has made it clear that she comes from a low-income household; she launched her sneaker with her family’s backing, but when she uploaded photos of her mother standing next to her, people began to criticize her.

Twitter couldn’t believe how young her mother looks, they look almost identical. It must be nice to have a mother who looks almost your age because it means you have a best friend who will never abandon you no matter what life throws at you.

Makhadzi fans have seen her buy her parents’ house, win prizes, and debut sneakers this year, and I must stress that her story needs to be told so that people might be encouraged.
