The management team was made of a couple and Makhadzi says she took them as her parents until the abuse started to happen.
"The wife used to abuse me emotionally with words, the way she used to talk to me, the way she used to tell me about my background," she said.
Makhadzi went on to detail how the husband raped her and took her virginity.
The award-winning singer says the rape continued.
“It was an every weekend routine," she said.
Makhadzi says she couldn't open up to the wife or anyone about the rape. She said she had to stop working with the couple because she could not take the abuse anymore.
