the launch of Magnum by Delta Beverages.
The Afro-jazz diva was the icing on the cake at a colourful event hosted by Delta Beverages at Chapman Golf Club last week as guzzlers celebrated the arrival of 660ml range of the green bottles, called the magnum in France.
Sephuma’s set comprised new and old songs as she took music fans back and forth on a joyful music ride. She is not new to Zimbabwe, as she has staged a number of concerts alongside superstar Oliver Mtukudzi with whom she has done a duet.
“I love Zimbabwe and everytime I come here I look forward to having a great time. It’s been amazing to be invited to perform here by Delta (Beverages),” she said backstage.
She, however, could not give details on issues surrounding her marriage insisting that she would only respond to matters involving her personal life via email.
Lately, the South African media was awash with news that Sephuma’s marriage to hubby Simphiwe Mhlambi was on the rocks.
According to Sunday World, Mhlambi and Sephuma’s marriage had been on the rocks and fingers were pointing at Judith’s ex-husband, jazz guru Selaelo Selota, “as the submarine that wrecked the marital ship”.
A relative told the paper that Selota would organise concerts and record an album with Sephuma without Mhlambi’s consent and this angered the lensman.
“He was upset that she seemed to put her career before her marriage. Another clue that the marriage was in trouble was that people sent SMSes to a Sunday gospel show on Soweto TV . . . asking for people to pray for the beleaguered pair.” Sephuma is expected back in Zimbabwe when she headlines the Bulawayo chapter of the Magnum launch.
“It’s been hectic for me and after this show I will return to Zimbabwe again for another show in Bulawayo,” Sephuma said.
Highlights of her performance in Harare include her tribute to the late Miriam Makeba, affectionately known as Mama Africa.
