CEPHAS Mashakada’s widow, Eunice, says Wicknell Chivayo should also consider widows, whose husbands played a big part in shaping the local musical industry, when it comes to his philanthropic activities.
All that she wants are just 1000 chicks to start a project.
Chivayo has been donating cars, including top-of-the-range vehicles, to local musicians in the past few months.
He has also handed over a substantial amount of money to these artists.
Mai Mashakada says widows have been left out of the feast even though their late husbands made a huge impression on the local musical scene.
“Chivayo has been doing well with his donations but he must also remember widows like us by donating at least 1000 chicks, so that we start new projects,” she said.
She said the drug menace in the coutry was killing her slowly as she cannot bear to watch how it is destroying local communities.
Mai Mashakada told H-Metro:
“I am in pain because of the children who are abusing drugs and illicit substances.
“Boys and girls must stop abusing drugs because Zimbabwe is for you not for us the elderly.
“I am worried about the youths who are breaking into their grandparents’ bedrooms and raping them.”
On a positive note, she is happy following her reconciliation with her late husband’s children.
“I no longer like to discuss the alleged conflicts with my beloved children who were left for me by Cephas Mashakada.
“The children came and apologised to me and we made up,” she said.
