Selmor has apologised for walking away from the stage at
Pakare Paye after she broke down. But she said group faced harassment from the
beginning.
“We waited outside
for a while because we did not have access tags. Once inside, no one guided our
group or told us where to put our belongings. As I walked through the hallway,
I noticed some striking changes. My pictures that mdhara (Tuku) had taken from
Jazz 105 and framed had been removed from the wall, specifically his office
door.
“Some of my artifacts that used to be in the Sam Mtukudzi
Hall were also gone. Everything related to me that mdhara had placed at Pakare
Paye had been removed; I do not know when.
“This clearly showed me that they were trying to erase me.
According to them, I should not exist and they do not want me associated with
the Tuku family in any way.”
“The events of the festival day still affect me to this
day. I thought I would eventually overcome my emotions when I went on stage,
but I was overwhelmed. Being at Pakare Paye was like a defining moment, but I
was wrong,” she said. |
