Salmur Mtukudzi says she made a huge mistake when she failed to perform in Bakare Bay.
I was completely overwhelmed that day (at the festival). I sincerely apologize for not being as strong as my supporters had hoped. I hurt the people who trusted me and supported me unconditionally by not performing. I tried to pull myself together but I couldn’t.
“I’m still thinking about how to make up for my fans who expected me to perform. My team is working on something and will share details soon. Of course, it won’t be the same as it was in Bakari Bay, but it’s my way of apologizing.
“It’s hard for me to describe exactly the emotions I felt that day but I promise I will never do the same thing again.
“We prepared for this show (OMIFA), rehearsed with the troupe, and also had a new costume specially designed for the event. The design was inspired by my father’s stage clothes.
“I was finally ready to take the stage at Bakari Bay. I had spent years asking my mother (Daisy) for permission to sing, but she always said no. So, finally, this opportunity touched my heart deeply. The whole day was really emotional,” she told the Sunday Mail. .
