During the festival, Selmor, who had been given a prime slot, abruptly left the stage moments into her performance, despite efforts from other family members, including Sandra Mtukudzi and Selmor’s husband, to persuade her to continue.

Daisy emphasized the embarrassment she felt from the situation, stating that it would ultimately be up to the public to judge her.

She highlighted that the festival was meant to honor Tuku’s legacy rather than focus on personal disputes.

Moreover, Daisy received support from various stakeholders, appreciating their presence at the event.

Jah Prayzah received special acknowledgment from Daisy, who praised his loyalty and commitment to honoring Tuku.
