    Nandi Madida took her talents to the international stage. In 2017, she became the first South African to host the Afropunk festival, an event that celebrates multiculturalism. Nandi was the perfect host as her values aligned with the theme of the festival. She is very vocal about embracing the African culture.

    In 2018, Nandi Madida hosted another BET event, ‘Made in Africa’, a show that highlighted African fashion. Alongside Nomzamo Mbatha, Nandi Madida also represented South Africa in the Global Citizen Festival that was hosted in SA.

    Music

    Of all her talents, Nandi Madiba admits that music is her favourite. It put her in the spotlight in 2011 after she featured in the single ‘Tonight’ by DJ Franky. Following the success of the song, Nandi Madiba was signed by Sony Music Entertainment Africa. Her first single as a sony artist was ‘Organic’, a song challenging African women to love themselves.

    “I want African women to feel good about themselves. We are always being challenged for being who we are naturally but we never get credit for the fact that we actually inspire the world.” Nandi on ‘Organic’.

    Nandi Madida released her first single ‘Goodtimes’ in 2012 after which she worked with Zakes Bantiwini on ‘Dance’ in 2015. In the same year, Nandi Madida collaborated with K.O and released the hit ‘Skhanda Love’. The two came together again to make ‘Say You Will’, a song about lovers’ promise to stay together.

    Acting

    Perhaps one of Nandi Madida’s biggest achievements is her appearance on the musical film and visual Album ‘Black is King’. Nandi Madida was hand-picked by American singer Beyonce who wrote, produced and directed the black pride-themed production. Nandi Madida played Nala, a character that displayed the strength of a woman. Afterwards, Nandi received a thank you gift from Queen Bee for her role in the film.

    Business

    Nandi Madida is also the owner of colourfulbeauty.com, a platform that sells beauty products.

    Hair

    Nandi Madida definitely makes short hair look cool and stylish. Over the years, we have seen her wear different colours like pink, purple, red and blonde. Nandi Madida’s haircut is always on fleek with the slight trims on the sides, an afro on top and a side-parting.

    Relationships

    Nandi Madida got married to Zakes Bantwini in 2016. There’s not much to reveal about their relationship as they keep things under wraps. Even so, Nandi shared how he met her husband.

    The pair met during the South African Music Awards (SAMA) nominee party. In an interview, Nandi said Zakes professed his love for her at that point but she did not buy into it.

    Their subsequent interactions were primarily work-related as Zakes helped Nandi develop her career. In fact, Nandi said that he is part of the reason her career took off rapidly. Nandi Madida and Zakes Bantwini’s romance blossomed and culminated in a private wedding in 2016.

    Nandi revealed that she did not intend to get married to a man within the entertainment industry but remains grateful that she actually did. Previously, she feared that it would interfere with the quality of the relationship but it has proven otherwise.

    Divorce

    Zakes Bantwini and Nandi Madiba’s divorce was not a conventional affair. They approached the Johannesburg High Court to dissolve their marriage contract after they realised they had not signed up a prenuptial agreement which automatically meant they were in a community marriage.

    As such, the properties that were being separated include an estate at Morningside Kwa-Zulu Natal and another in Thornhill Modderfontein in Gauteng owned solely by Zakes. Nandi Madida signed an affidavit to give her consent to the separation.

    You might be wondering, is Zakes Bantwini still Nandi Madida’s spouse? Yes, a happy one at that. They got married under the ‘in community of property’ which means that in the case of separation, by divorce or death, Nandi Madida is entitled to half of Zakes Bantwini’s wealth.

    The couple preferred the ‘out of community of property. Nandi’s husband spotted the mistake when he was going through his personal finances and moved to have the matter rectified immediately.

    Nandi Madida family

    Nandi Madida and her husband have two children, Shaka Madida born in 2016 and Nefertiti Madiba born in 2019. In the lead up to Nandi Madida’s son arrival, television presenter Minnie Dlamini threw Nandi Madida a surprise baby shower. The pair have known each other since they were seven years old and have remained friends ever since.

    Nandi Madida’s second pregnancy was announced through Glamour magazine as she and her husband graced its cover in 2019.

    Controversy

    Lux campaign drama

    Nandi Madida sued PR agent Thamqansa Fakazi also known as Amaru Da Costa for withholding money owed to her for a Lux campaign she was involved in. Nandi did not disclose the amount but confirmed that Lux had wired money to the agent but hadn’t been paid.

    Nala comments land Nandi in trouble

    Nandi Madida was accused of lying about her son’s school friends recognising her as Nala. Nala is the role that Nandi played in the film ‘Black is King’. Tweeps questioned Nandi’s comments and stated that her own son might not even recognise her as Nala because he is too young thus his friends aren’t in a position to do the same.

    Car

    Nandi Madida joined the Mercedez family in 2020 after she became Mercedez brand ambassador. She posted a picture on Instagram standing beside her new black Mercedez Benz.

    House

    Nandi Madida lives a very private life thus the location of her home remains unknown. However, she did give fans a sneak peek into her home when she wished her fans a happy week. Fans were treated with the sight of beautiful pieces of artwork as well as expensive furniture.

    Net Worth

    Nandi Madiba has had a successful career in television and as a musician. With her ever-growing popularity, there’s no doubt she’s collecting an even bigger paycheck. Thus, Nandi Madiba’s net worth is estimated to be between $1 million to $5 million.
