The online community continues to pour tribute messages to Zimbabwe’s fallen music legend Oliver Mtukudzi who passed away yesterday afternoon.
Mtukudzi rose to become an international music icon after launching his music at the age of 23 in 1975. He leaves a legacy of 66 albums to his name and also made his mark in the film industry after staring as a lead actor in Zimbabwe’s top films, Neria and Jiti produced in the 90s.
