LOCAL Afro-jazz sensation Edith WeUtonga Katiji was on Saturday afternoon robbed at Small Street Mall in Johannesburg, South Africa and lost her yet to be released music that was on a memory card.
Kajiti lost her Nokia Windows phone and R450 and when she asked for her memory card that had her forthcoming projects and a SIM card, but the robbers refused.
The musician said although she was not injured, she lost her valuables.
"I was robbed after I was cornered by a group of six," she said.
Katiji said the robbers were most likely Zimbabwean as she heard them speak in Shona and Ndebele.
The musician's Facebook account yesterday was awash with messages from friends consoling her after she posted about the incident.
"Got robbed in South Africa, the group of six looked me in the eye, spoke in my Zimbabwean languages, Ndebele and Shona, and dared me to scream…..my own brothers. Got no phone, sorry if you have been trying to get hold of me," she wrote.
