ZORA music star Leonard “Karikoga” Zhakata last Friday
cancelled this gig at last minute, leaving fans stranded. Zhakata was billed to
perform at City Sports Bar, but aborted the show on the 11th hour with reports
that he failed to agree with management at the joint over payments.
The “Mugove” singer was quick refute reports saying he had
another commitment at church.
Zhakata said he communicated with City Sports Bar’s management
hours before the show informing them that he was no longer able to perform at
the show.
“I had another event at church on that day,” he said. Zhakata
is a bona fide congregant at Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa’s United Families
International Church.
The “Mugove” hit-maker said he also told them that he would
cater for all the expenses that were incurred in the build-up to the show.
“I communicated with them and told them that I had other
commitments that were clashing with their event.
“I have never heard of any clashes between my team and
those at City Sports Bar. I am sure they understood my position as I also
indicated to them that I was going to cater for the expenses that were incurred
in preparation of the show,” he said.
Zhakata said he was planning to meet management at City
Sports Bar to discuss over the matter.
Although he could not be drawn into revealing much,
entertainment manager at City Sports Bar Yasin Dala said Zhakata had family
commitments.
“Zhakata had some family problems,” said Yasin.
Rhumba outfit BV Labien was called in to fill the gap after
Zhakata cancelled the Friday gig. BV Labien performed to a handful of people
and belted songs from their discography. Herald
