The musician never backed down and had a positive mindset which played a huge role in her current success. It all started here in Venda. This is the longest road I used to use when I was going to town to promote my music. I used to walk without shoes, not having money for transport, she explained. At the rank, she would make sure she performs at specific times so she can attract more people. All she needed was her small speaker and her body revved up with energy. During her performances, she attracted the attention of a certain group called Makurari who worked with her. Seven albums later, she met Master Keiji and the rest was history. He's the only person who pushed me and told me that you must speak your language. You must not change your language just sing in Venda, she said.
