Yesterday, the performance at Emdletsheni Stadium in KZN turned chaotic as 18-year-old Naledi Aphiwe encountered hostility from the crowd during her set.
Instead of recording the performance on their phones, attendees chose to hurl bottles at the young artist. Nevertheless, Naledi stood resolutely, refusing to back down despite the challenging situation.

Naledi Interrupts Gatsheni, Audience Reacts
The commotion erupted when Naledi interrupted the performance of Maskandi musician Gatsheni, leading the DJ to pause his act and switch to her music. Gatsheni and his crew, caught off guard, stepped aside as Naledi boldly took control of the stage.
However, the crowd was not impressed! Bottles began to fall, aimed directly at the young vocalist. What astonished many was Naledi’s calm demeanor—possibly even her indifference. She sang her heart out, seemingly unfazed by the projectiles!

It wasn’t until security personnel gently guided her off the stage that the tumult finally came to an end.
Mzansi’s Reaction
Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@TumeloTiger1: “Why is this escalating? 😩 Has fame gone to her head?”
@eliotchauke1: “She just stood there as if amaZulu weren’t throwing bottles at her.”
@PebblesNeo: “Of course, she wasn’t going to run. Oh no, Naledi uzolimala😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.”
@ChrisExcel102: “Naledi tried to pull a fast one on the Zulu crowd…😭😭”
@MzamoDudula: “Isn’t she supposed to be 14 or something?”
@StHonorable: “She doesn’t know amaBhinca. 😂😂😂 She was close to getting hurt, honestly. Next time, she should think twice.”
@tumelo_br: “If people don’t support your music, just walk away lol.”
@am_makwela: “We stand with frustrated fans during these tough times 🤧. This girl thinks she’s Breezy’s cousin.”
@Constitution_94: “KZN audience doesn’t take nonsense!! If they order their drink, you give it to them just as they asked. No half measures.”
A Risky Move or a Career Blunder?
At just 18, Naledi Aphiwe is still navigating her path within the music industry, but this incident has sparked debate about whether she overreached. Crashing a Maskandi stage without an invitation is comparable to barging into a shisa nyama and requesting sushi—amaBhinca would never tolerate such behavior!

While her determination is commendable, was it prudent to put her safety at risk? It seems Twitter opinions lean in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, fans of Gatsheni are enraged, insisting on respect for their artist. “Let’s leave the drama for reality TV,” tweeted one user.
Naledi’s ordeal serves as a crucial reminder: respect the stage, honor the audience, and most importantly—when things start flying your way, GET OUT!
