“Not in our wildest dreams did we think we would reach one decade, let alone two. Not because we did not have faith in ourselves, but because the music industry is known to be fickle,” he said. Mtukudzi died in January and a tribute act was performed last night, with Mbeu, Berita, Vusi Mahlasela and Maduvha all taking part.
The event was initially held at the Good Hope Centre and by 2003 it was attracting over 14000 to the festival. It outgrew the venue and by 2004 the festival had been moved to the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
