Now to me this is where l draw a line,l don’t support family divisions and selfishness.This is Selmors father why is she not on the list of artists performing during the 2 days?
@Brian Hove;
Selmor is the only Mtukudzi brand left, we can’t celebrate @TukuOfficial and not have the only living brand carrier to the organizers by public demand we need Selmor…She should be the headline and perform all the days of the Festival, ndiye Tuku Music asara zvenhaka nekumakana is not for the public Tuku himself was a goodwill ambassador please respect his legacy.
