Sure, she’s featured on a few singles along the way, but by her standards, Madjozi has mostly flown under the radar and spent her time living life. “I’ve always been a traveller and a nomad,” she says. “I love seeing new places, and lately it’s been expanding more and more. I’m about to start my tour…

But Wednesday seems destined for a different…
