PARTY ON WITHOUT MAI TT

ORGANISERS of the Winter Warmer Concert, set for Harare Gardens on July 2, say the event will go ahead as planned despite the incarceration of comedienne, Mai TT.

Mai TT was set to celebrate her birthday at this family event to be headlined by sungura giant Alick Macheso, Dorcas Moyo and Mathias Mhere.

After Mai TT’s nine-months imprisonment for theft of trust property last week, questions have been raised on whether the show will continue.

Speaking to H-Metro yesterday, event organiser Samuel “Boss Werras” Saungweme said they were still going to celebrate Mai TT’s birthday.

“The show continues as planned.

We have a huge line-up and Mai TT was part of the event to celebrate her birthday and we will still honour that even in her absence.

“The performing artists are still there.

“We are not going to abandon the plans, we are going to honour her while she is in prison.

“We are also going to engage relevant authorities and see if she can send a message to her fans when we visit her one of the days,” said Boss Werras.

He said they have since roped in other artists on the line-up to make the event even more special.

“Despite having heavyweights lined-up to perform, we have decided to add Diamond Musica, Silent Killer and Merciless.

“This is to add to Macheso and Dorcas Moyo, who are expected to bring the Mhanza Haisekwi magic, and Mathias Mhere,” added Boss Werras.

Zimdancehall chanter Blot, who was arrested for drug possession, has been dropped from the event.

Werras said this was a family event which will start during the day.

“This is a family event, so we will make sure that it’s going to accommodate every family set-up.

“Musicians will start performing during the day and we have a number of activities for the little ones.”
