Jane Mlambo| Daughter to the late iconic musician Oliver Mtukudzi, Selmor has opened up on her last moments with his departed father who told her to persevere as patience will eventually pay off for her.

Selmor said she visited her dad a week before he died and left with words of wisdom which she is now banking to see her grow her music career.

“On my last visit to my daddy it was a week before he passed, he said to me zvedu isu zvinononoka asi zvinozoita chete (perseverance pays off). Looking back now I think he knew he was not going to be around much longer. He was just encouraging us to keep working hard,” she said.

Mtukudzi died earlier this year and was buried in Madziwa his rural home despite being granted national hero status by the government.
