The late Oliver Mtukudzi’s daughters, Selmor and Sandra
have snubbed a memorial for the national hero which has been described by
family members as a sham.
The memorial organised by Tuku’s widow in Madziva, was shunned
by most family members. They were furious at the way Daisy had handled the
memorial.
“She and her children carried the deceased (Tuku)’s items
on their own without informing the family. They slaughtered a cow on Wednesday
without the other family members’ involvement. She wanted them to be passengers
at their son’s, father’s or brother’s funeral. They refused,” source told The
Sunday Mail.
But Daisy was defiant saying naysayers were like barking
puppies that cannot do anything to her. She said what was happening had always
been the case when her husband was alive and so nothing had changed.
“I will keep quiet. I will not tarnish my husband’s image
after he was honoured by the country as a national hero and mourned by the
whole world,” she said.
Throughout the event, Daisy and her daughter Samantha
remained the closest relatives of Tuku in attendance.
