Sungura maestro Tongai Moyo said he is worried by continued distortions of his health.
There had been reports that Moyo would not be able to perform at a joint show with South African based musician Ringo Madlingozi, pencilled for July 31 in Bulawayo.
The Sungura giant, who has got cancer, was in hospital a fortnight ago where he was having yet another round of chemotherapy.
“I have never failed my fans in any show since I started my musical carrier, or even after I was diagnosed with the disease that I am currently receiving treatment for. It will be unprofessional for me to advertise a show and fail to perform,” he said.
“I know that the issue of my health has caused a lot of debate and it’s unfortunate that there are other people who have not accurately interpreted it. What I want to emphasise is that I do not advertise a show when I really know that I wont be able to deliver the service to my beloved fans.
“In fact many times Ihave over performed at most shows when fans demanded more,” he added.
“The Bulawayo show is going to be a pungwe (all night long) because we do not want fans to get back home during the night as this will expose them to robbers. The other reason we have considered is the fact that most of the fans who will be attending this big show will be coming from different parts of the country and we do not want them to drive at midnight. We want everyone to enjoy and return to their respective homes safely.”
The sungura maestro said it was true that he was having health problems but dismissed assertions that it was life threatening.
“As you know I was in hospital for medical check-up, but I am glad to tell you that I am back and rearing to go. I am now fit and have assumed my routine shows around the country. Next week I
will be having several shows in Harare and Shamva and many others before the Bulawayo clash with Ringo.I urge those who are continuously doubting me to attend my shows and see for themselves
that I am back and this time with a bang,” he added.
His joint show with Ringo will take place at Bulawayo’s large city hall and will also include dancer and singer Sandra Ndebele.
