Legendary musician Oliver Mtukudzi’s daughter, Selmor, broke down on stage as she opened up about the ill-treatment she has received from her step-mother Daisy Mtukudzi.
Selmor was performing at the Oliver Mtukudzi International Festival of the Arts at Pakare Paye Arts Centre.
Selmor said, “I have wanted to be on this stage for so many years but was always denied the chance. If it weren’t for you, my supporters, I wouldn’t be here. How long will you keep fighting for me?
“I wonder if the dead can hear. I want to thank my father, who worked hard to build this wonderful place, but what he wanted is not what is happening”, he said.
Her sister Sandra, husband Tendai Manatsa, and Tuku’s legendary dancer Eric “Piki” Kasamba tried to comfort her.
Selmor was too emotional to carry on with her performance. She dropped the mic and hurried off the stage.
