In a heartfelt gesture of support, well-wishers have initiated a GoFundMe campaign to assist the daughters of the late music icon Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi. Spearheaded by Nancy Chimbizi, the campaign has already raised £650 towards its target of £1,500.
The initiative gained significant momentum following an emotional episode of the DJ Ollag podcast, where Selmor and Sandra Mtukudzi candidly shared their experiences and challenges in the aftermath of their father’s passing. The sisters opened up about the profound impact of their father’s legacy, as well as the personal and public struggles they have faced since his death. Their heartfelt stories resonated deeply with viewers, prompting an outpouring of support and donations.
The Mtukudzi family has navigated numerous hardships, including public disputes and personal challenges, which have only heightened the need for community support during this difficult time. The GoFundMe campaign serves not only as a financial aid initiative but also as a testament to the love and respect that Tuku commanded throughout his life and career.
As the campaign continues to gain traction, supporters are encouraged to contribute and help ensure that the daughters of this beloved musician can thrive in the wake of their loss. The legacy of Oliver Mtukudzi lives on, not just through his music, but through the support and solidarity of those who continue to celebrate his impact on Zimbabwean culture.
