She explained that she chose the guest performers based on their potential and said that she is a fan of their music.

"Each one of the performers is either someone dear to me, or people who inspire me, whose music I love, or someone who I see potential. But everyone is chosen based on my liking them and their music, and I believe they would be great for my audience in Limpopo. A lot of people drive from Durban, the Eastern Cape, and Johannesburg to attend the show and seeing their favourite stars on one stage is amazing," she said.

Makhadzi said each venue will have different musicians. She said she will announce the female performers starting in August 2025.

"So each venue will have different artists. We will be making announcements of the acts and five themes almost every month. So there's still a long way to go. December is around the corner. August is women's month, hence why we started with the all-female list," Makhadzi said.
