Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Some revellers damaged property at PaGomba Cafe in Beitbridge after sungura artiste Mark Ngwazi failed to arrive for a show.<\/p>\n

Officer commanding Beitbridge police Chief Superintendent Tichaona Nyongo on Tuesday confirmed the fracas but said the police had not received any reports of injuries. He said:<\/p>\n

Police can confirm there was crowd trouble at the PaGomba Cafe when an artiste who was supposed to play at the weekend did not show up.<\/p>\n

We have not had any reports from people who were injured, but police attended a scene where revellers threw missiles at random, most probably disappointed having paid money for a show that never was.<\/p>\n

The revellers destroyed the windows of a minibus that was used as the cash point into the venue where scores of people gathered for the show.<\/p>\n

Scores of fun-loving people gathered and there was another band playing which everyone mistook for curtain raiser artistes.<\/p>\n

Later news that Ngwazi had not come filtered through and trouble started.<\/p>\n

When contacted for a comment by NewsDay yesterday, Ngwazi said he had nothing to say. He said:<\/p>\n

You can just write that I have nothing regarding the issue. I am about to perform here at the Defence Forces event and if you want me to say something now because you want me to, you can go ahead and say I have nothing to say.<\/p>\n

A fan said posters advertising Ngwazi\u2019s show at PaGomba were posted in Beitbridge and revellers were asked to pay US$5 at the gate.<\/p>\n
