KILLER T IN SUCCESSFUL HOMECOMING MBARE SHOW

Entertainment Reporter

ORGANISERS of Killer’ T’s just-ended “Back To Roots” musical extravaganza, believe artists should never forget their roots.

Killer T, who last performed in Mbare four years ago, was last Saturday given a hero’s welcome at Mbare Netball Complex, which was packed to the brim. Fans started queuing for tickets around 4pm.

Show coordinator, Jack Radics, believes the Chairman needs to hold more shows in his ghetto.

“He last performed in Mbare four years ago due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Killer T is a regular visitor to Mbare where he donates groceries to the less privileged people under his foundation.

“Of course, he is now leading a better life through the wealth he amassed through music but he still has locals at heart,” he said.

Radics told H-Metro he was impressed by the crowd’s behaviour.

“Over the years, violence had become a common occurrence at Zim dancehall shows but this was not the case this time around.

“We are happy that people are now putting what we are teaching them into practice.

“Killer T was in total control of the crowd and we were happy to be part of the event where Mbare Netball Complex was packed to the brim.”

Radics, who has been promoting Zim dancehall for years, believes the genre is here to stay.

“We need to embrace these guys (Zim dancehall artists) because they are now our superstars.

“We can’t afford to continue calling them all sorts of names since they are now eking out a living through music. “As progressive Zimbabweans, we need to embrace new stars and move with time.’

Meanwhile, the majority of artists on the line-up performed as expected.

Hwindi Prezident missed the show.

He had a show in Gutu but he could not make it in time for his slot at the Mbare Netball Complex.

“With the strong line-up at Mbare Netball Complex, there was no way the event could fail to live up to expectations.

“All the artists in the line-up were given their dues and we are happy with the support we received from the media, especially H-Metro, which has been promoting the Zim dancehall movement and young artists,” said Radics.
