The future of
Zimdancehall is currently hanging by the hair on the sword of Damocles. The
communications and Marketing officer of the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe
(NACZ) Catherine Mthombeni has announced that they are currently carrying out
an investigation on the actual cause of violence that rocked the recently held
Sting Show. Some are fearing that the worst can happen: Zimdancehall will get
banned! But what really led to this fracas?
Our team managed to carry out an investigation that revealed a can of worms. We are not going to mention the
names of the people who contributed as some of them are well known people in the Zimdancehall movement.
According to the Sunday mail Seh Calaz and Soul Jah Love were to be paid $250/minute. They were supposed to
perform for 2hours! However, they only managed to perform for 15minutes as violence reared its ugly head. They ended up getting $3500 each.
We have managed to reveal that their performance
was never meant to last for 2hours.It was supposed to end before those 2hours. The
plan was that a premature end of the clash would enable the promoter to hold a
'part 2' of the show!
If they were to
perform for 2hours then each of them would have pocketed $30 000.Combined the
promoter was going to pay them a whopping $60 000!
Surprisingly, the promoter told the Sunday mail that he could only afford to pay only 30 police officers
to protect the lives of the people yet he was willing to pay artistes such a ridiculous amount!
According to our source on the eve of the show, the promoter made a phone call to a certain big artist in Zimdancehall.He asked him to find ways to disrupt the much anticipated clash between Seh Calaz and Soul Jah Love. The idea was that if the artiste disrupts the showthen a round 2 clash will be organized.
All this would have played well for the promoter as he would not have to part with $60 000 and he was also
going to make a fortune again when the clash would continue during another show.
However, the
artiste declined the offer as he refused being used as a pawn and in the
process tarnishing his reputation. Hence the promoter had to go back to the
drawing board to come up with yet another 'Sun Tzu' strategy.
The police were quoted saying the
teargas canisters thrown on that day where not registered in their system. The
promoter knew where they came from.
"The promoter paid the people who threw the teargas" our sources revealed.
Our source went further to espouse that, "there is strong evidence to show that the promoter had a motive to begin with. Zimdancehall hall should not be banned but the promoter should be restricted in holding Zimdancehall shows. The promoter and his spokes person have been misleading the public and investigating police officers. they will do all it takes to cover up for the mayhem. if the promoter is serious in making sure that the culprit/s who unleashed the teargas are brought book then can he offer cash to an informer. definable someone saw the person who did this life threatening act.

Probably the promoter never contemplated that people would get injured. Or did he?
