We can confirm that the artiste is yet to receive what he was promised. We have tried to follow up in two encounters, but nothing has materialised,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope people will not make pledges that they won\u2019t honour in the future, starting from this year\u2019s awards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tshanda, however, blamed local artistes for not complying with the conditions attached to the pledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I pledged to help Bulawayo artistes, but the whole process didn\u2019t go well since they (artistes) didn\u2019t show up. I waited for them to come to me whilst I was in Zimbabwe, but only one artiste came through,\u201d he told NewsDay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RENOWNED South African musician and Dalom Kids frontman Dan Tshanda, who pledged to donate R250 000 and a recording deal to some of the winners at the inaugural Skyz Metro FM Music Awards has not honoured his pledge one year on, NewsDay Life &amp;
