Jonas Kasamba misses Sanganai/Hlanganani special night

Sungura legend Alick Macheso's chanter Jonas "baba Sophia" Kasamba missed last night's show dubbed Sanganai special night in Mutare at Platinum Leisure Centre.

Mutare is hosting the world Expo Sanganai/ Hlanganani/ Kumbanayi for the first time and music lovers packed the venue where Sulumani Chimbeti was sharing the stage with Macheso.

Macheso told fans that Kasamba was not present because he is mourning his father in-law, who passed on.

"Our bosses we are saddened to inform you that baba Sophia is not with us today because he lost his father-in-law hence we mourn with him," Macheso said.

Chimbetu proved to be a genius as he played tune after tune thereby mesmerising the fans.

Mutare came to light after Sanganai/Hlanganani/Kumbanayi brought so many people all over the world hence business has boosted.

The Expo was launched yesterday by President Emmerson.

The prestigious event is running under the theme "Devolving Sustainable Tourism Development - Our Future," this year's edition underscores Government's commitment to inclusive economic growth through decentralisation of key national events and full exploitation of the country’s diverse tourism assets.
