Sports Minister, Kirsty Coventry says the government would
consider a special honour for the Oliver Mtukudzi.
“He was a legend. He is not only a music hero for the
country. He is a hero of Africa. He deserves a special honour, but things will
become clear in the next days,” she said as she paid her respects at the
Mtukudzi home in Norton.
“We had mutual respect for each other. Last year we sat on
the same panel when we were talking about philanthropy work. I last spoke to
him towards the end of last year when we met at the airport. He was coming from
a tour and I was travelling to South Africa.
“We talked about the future of the arts industry and he was
telling me about young people he was working with. He was indeed a legend. As
Government, we are prepared to honour our legends in various sectors.”
