Macheso Speaks
Taking to social media, Macheso addressed his "Vatsigiri" (supporters) directly:
"Vatsigiri, tine hurombo nekumisa mamwe ema shows atanga takaronga vhiki rino."
(Fans, we are sorry for cancelling some of the shows we had planned for this week.)
He promised that more updates regarding his schedule would be shared in due course.
A Father & Son Bond
The relationship between Macheso and Zakaria dates back decades. Macheso regards Madzibaba not just as a fellow musician, but as a father figure and mentor.
Zakaria was instrumental in shaping Macheso's early career during their time together in the Khiama Boys, where Macheso honed the bass guitar skills that would later make him a legend in his own right.
Macheso joins the nation in mourning, noting that the passing of the "Senior Lecturer" has left a void that cannot be filled. By cancelling his shows, Macheso honors the tradition of respect for those who paved the way.
