Philani Mzila Limpopo-born artist Makhadzi has, for the second year in a row, been left out of the South African Music Awards. Makhadzi, whose real name is Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, took to Twitter on Wednesday night shortly after the announcement of the nominees and expressed her disappointment to the SAMAs. Hits Tshanda Vhuya and Matorokosi have not been deemed by the panel of judges as worthy of recognition. She wrote, "I submitted the SAMA forms, maybe I didn't meet their requirements." The SAMAs announced the 2021 nominees on Wednesday night and Kabza De Small is leading the nominations. Speaking to Scrolla.Africa, Makhadzi said that she was enraged by the snubbing. "I kept quiet last year when they lied and said I submitted my forms late. The organisers themselves know that I submitted my forms early." She even questions the judge's impartiality, and suspects an element of prejudice.
