'I am the face of Sungura music' - Alick Macheso

Alick Macheso
HARARE – Sungura king, Alick Macheso, presently sits with unease on his throne. And now the beleaguered sungura giant is blaming the media for the waning fortunes of his beloved genre.

The troubled sungura maestro believes that the media has amplified the Zim dancehall genre and its artistes by creating “columns” for it at the expense of sungura, which saw him crowned king.

“. . . people believe what they read. If you tell them that Pasuwa (Callisto) is the best coach in the country or that so and so is the best player in the country, they will go with that.

“You (the media) created columns for Zim dancehall, a thing you did not do for sungura, and made everyone believe the genre (dancehall) is the in thing and yes these are the results,” lamented Macheso.

'Oscar Pistorius killed our daughter deliberately': Steenkamps

The Steenkamps
Oscar Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp deliberately, her parents said, ahead of an appeal hearing in which prosecutors are seeking to overturn a South African court ruling that the athlete was not guilty of murder. 

Pistorius, 28, was found guilty last September of culpable homicide, the equivalent of manslaughter, after Judge Thokozile Masipa said state prosecutors had failed to prove the Paralympic gold medallist had shown "intent" to kill.

The state argued throughout the six-month trial that Pistorius had deliberately killed Steenkamp when he fired four rounds through a locked toilet door where she was hiding after a row. Pistorius says he believed an intruder was inside the toilet cubicle.

Prosecutors filed an appeal last week asking for the verdict to be changed to murder. They argue Pistorius must have known when he fired that the person behind the door could be killed, even if he did not know it was Steenkamp. The appeal hearing is due to start in November.
