“A Dream Honoured,” Nandi Madida’s Son Celebrates His 9th Birthday With His First Solo Exhibition
“A Dream Honoured,” Nandi Madida’s Son Celebrates His 9th Birthday With His First Solo Exhibition. When it comes to Shaka Madida, it is clear that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Just like his famous parents Nandi Madida and Zakes Bantwini, he is quite talented in the creative space.
When he was just 6 years old, Shaka sketched Sonic the Hedgehog freehand. His mom proud Nandi shared the video both on Twitter (now X) and Instagram. The award winning singer, actress and TV personality shared that the young artist wants to exhibit his sketches in an art show when he turns seven. A year ago, Shaka made massive improvements on his skill. He even created an Instagram page dedicated to his craft.
Now Shaka has decided it’s time to share his craft with the world. On his 9th birthday, he had his very first solo exhibition, which is quite a milestone. His parents were among those who went to see his work. Nandi couldn’t help but gush over her son’s talent and achievement. She further thanked Thebe Magugu for the Magugu House, where Shaka exhibited.
“My dear son Shaka celebrated his 9th birthday with his very first solo exhibition, a goal he has quietly and passionately carried for a long time. On that same night, he made his first art sale!
A brave beginning. A dream honoured. A milestone earned at only 9 years old.
Thank you Uncle @thebemagugu 💐for offering him such an uplifting creative home, for believing in his work, and for sharing your beautiful space with so much generosity and support. Shaka and the Madida family are forever grateful.
Happy 9th birthday, sweet boy. You stepped into this moment with confidence, courage and creativity leading the way. We are endlessly proud of you. 🎨❤️💐🎉,” Nandi said.
