Thomas Mapfumo was supposed to perform in Guruve after the
Tuku funeral. But he was no show in, leaving fans very angry.
The show, whose tickets were going for $10, was also meant
to feature Progress Chipfumo.
“When we came here, the atmosphere looked as though the
legend was on his way from Oliver Mtukudzi’s burial and we called each other,
inviting more fans as we waited anxiously for Mukanya, but after some hours, we
were told by the DJ that the show had been cancelled and scheduled for
Saturday,” Farai Zimba said.
Shungu Murendo felt they were robbed by Mukanya and the
promoters as they ended up spending the cash they had at the hotel.
“We have been robbed by both Mukanya and his promoters. As
you can see, we have no choice, but to spend the money we budgeted for him at
this hotel; this is really unfair,” lamented Murendo.
Show promoter, Magret Mutongerwa, told NewsDay that the show had been
postponed. She said yesterday that
things did not go according to plan, but assured the Guruve fans that the show
would now be held on Saturday.
