THE Batai Munhu combination of Sulumani Chimbetu and Jah Prayzah invades
Mzansi this weekend to hold separate shows in Johannesburg and Pretoria
respectively.
Report by Tinotenda Samukange
The musicians will take turns to perform at two of the venues in Germistown and Johannesburg.
Sulu performs at Safari Hotel International in Jo’burg tomorrow, while Jah Prayzah performs at the same venue on Saturday.
This comes after Jah Prayzah’s performance at The Sports Palace tomorrow where Sulu will also be on stage the following day.
Tomorrow Sulu travels to Soshanguve for a show at Kopanong Hall while Jah Prayzah ends his tour at Diepsloot Community Youth Centre on Sunday.
Given the background of local acts that have flopped in South Africa, the weekend venture could be disastrous.
Both Sulu and Jah Prayzah have struggled to maintain their following due to lack of new content.
A joint tour would have been favourable.
But Joe Nyamungoma, Sulu’s publicist feels the promoters have done their homework.
“We tried to have the two respective promoters working together, but it appears they are determined to go it separately,” Nyamungoma said.
The last time Sulu performed on the other side of the Limpopo there were reports of violence at his Pretoria show and Nyamungoma said the promoters have made the necessary arrangements to ensure a smooth and safe tour. This will be the first time for Jah Prayzah to perform in South Africa.
