THERE were reports last night of a plot to sabotage Selmor Mtukudzi’s gig scheduled for Andy Miller hall on March 29 in what sources believe is a bitter war over the late national hero, Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi’s legacy.
Selmor’s gig is running under the theme “Tuku’s music lives
on” and she has enlisted the services of former Black Spirits members like Eric
“Piki” Kasamba for the performance.
Dubbed “Selmor Mtukudzi & Friends Concert”, Selmor is
also billed to share the stage with Suluman Chimbetu, Andy Muridzo, Jah Signal,
Steve Makoni, Sasha and South Africa based chanter Jah Seed.
The show is being held in memory of the late national hero
Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi.
For Selmor, it’s a “Thank You” gig to Zimbabweans who gave
her father a befitting send-off as well as a launch pad for her to keep the
legacy alive.
Businessman Josh Hozheri is behind the show being held in
memory of the late crooner.
Now it was claimed last night that visits are being made to
the former Black Spirits members who had expressed willingness to share the
stage with Selmor on March 29 with cash offers.
There were unconfirmed reports that there are efforts to
stage a counter gig in Cape Town, South Africa on March 29 with those old Black
Spirits members being part of the show.
Former ex-Black Spirits members, who have thrown their
weight behind Selmor include bass guitarist Never Mpofu, dancer and
percussionist Piki, guitar player Moses Mwila and percussionist Strovers
Shadaya.
Unconfirmed reports say prolific guitarist Mono Mukundu and
drummer Sam Mataure have pledged to assist Selmor as she starts a new page in
her career. H metro
