FANS REACT TO NADIA NAKAI’S NEWS

Before confirming that the new show was Gen Z South Africa, Nadia Nakai dropped subtle hints on her social media pages. A week ago, when posting a picture of herself, she added this caption:

“I find myself getting rid of my Kicks for glam a lot more lately… If I can’t be on stage, you’ll have to find me on TV… .”
