We stumbled across an article on Youth Village describing Sho Madjodzi as “one of those women most people in the new South Africa who would think of as weird”. We thought that’s nothing new!
People in South Africa have always classified Vatsonga as unorthodox due to their way of living, from the clothes they wear to the speech sounds of their language. But this is not the point – poet and rapper Sho Madjozi; is an epitome of what village dreams are made of! See what we did there?
Sho Madjozi whose real name Maya Wegeriff hails from Shirley; a small village in Limpopo. She’s widely known for featuring in Okmalumkoolkat’s hit single Gqii and also for taking pride in her Xitsonga culture that she visually expresses by wearing her traditional clothes and also rapping in Xitsonga language. She’s just one of those women you can’t help but follow because she breathes life into anything she touches and this is the reason we stalked her Instagram page. We picked her top five pictures that we love and think you will love too.
