Mercy Masakona Madzivhandila is an award winning and professional musician who live at South Africa Limpopo province Venda Lwamondo,
(Vhembe District). I started singing at the age of 8 in a Sunday school as a chorus
leader. That’s where I realized that I have a potential of contributing to the
community.
I joined ICC Music Ministry under the leadership of (Dr, Apostle) evangelist M.A
Masakona in the 1980’s. The group released two albums where I was given a
chance to lead some of the songs, “Born Again” and “Jehovah Jaira”. I was then
requested to give a helping hand to the Devine Life Ministries band lead by Dr
Muligwe as a co-founder.
In 1998 I decided to start being a soloist, I released my first album “Yeso WaVhuthu”,
the second album “Haho ”which was released in 2001 and the third one which is
“Haho” 2 which was released in 2006 and between these years I was the best
female cassettes and CDs seller around Vhembe. During that period I have won the
second prize in 2006 on V.D.A.A (Vhembe District of Arts and Culture) on which the
first prize won by Worship House.
I have assisted many famous groups around and outside Vhembe District on live
performances and studio recordings. For instance, Naledzani Netshirembe,
Malondolo, Itani Madima, Roxely Fhatuwani Masevhe, Rapson Mbilu Rambuwani,
Kanakana “COOK” Sandani, Lufuno Dagada, Lucky M, Alive in Christ, Ualee, Steve
Tshirundu, Alchadai, and SAPS Provincial Police Choir.
