Sungura singer Peter Moyo is at it again, he failed to turn up for a show on Sunday at Spillway Pub and Restaurant.
The musician opted to perform at his church, Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries, while fans were waiting for him at the Lake Chivero resort.
The Spillway show was advertised for more than a week, but Moyo reacted to a short notice call-up for a performance at PHD and disappointed fans, most of whom had brought their families in anticipation of a fun-filled Sunday at the lake.
Spillway Pub and Restaurant manager Dzikama Rufu had a go a Moyo.
"They acted in an unprofessional manner. We were expecting them to come and perform but I got worried in the late afternoon when no one from their group came to prepare for the show. I was expecting them to set up their sound system by 12noon, but no one came. I tried to call them and no one was picking my calls," said Rufu.
"As time went on, fans that had come got impatient and we had to tell them that the show had been cancelled, but there was still no communication from Peter and his guys. Up to Friday last week, we were communicating and they had actually been given flyers to distribute at their other shows and everything seemed perfect. We advertised the show for more than a week and we incurred losses. Up to now, they are avoiding me and they have not explained what happened."
Moyo's manager Sukol Dube said they cancelled the show because of the PHD assignment.
"We thought Peter would just go alone to church as usual and later come for the Spillway show, but we were told on the day that the whole band had to go to PHD. We went to church as a band and we failed to go to the other show because of time. I admit there was communication breakdown and organisers of Spillway show did not know what was happening. We will talk to them for another arrangement," said Dube.
Moyo has been on spotlight for the wrong reasons over the past months due to mismanagement that has torn his Utakataka Express band apart.
