WHILE SULUMAN CHIMBETU is grabbing headlines for splashing money on the showbiz scene as he tries to ‘raid’ Alick Macheso’s key band members, he stands accused of starving his first wife and two children.

The ‘over-spending’ Suluman’s irresponsibility came to light after his first wife Marygold Mutemasango dragged him to court over a maintenance dispute. The Dendera music exponent was being accused of neglecting his two children he sired with his “on-off” wife, Marygold, while luring band members like dancer Sulu with a Mercedes Benz.

Assist upcoming musicians — Chimbetu

Sulumani Chimbetu

Dendera musician Sulumani Chimbetu recently made a passionate plea to banks to grant loans to upcoming artists to start their projects. Speaking at the launch of Old Mutual Youth Fund, the charismatic singer said it was high time music was recognised as a business.

“Speaking as a youth, I appeal to banks to bankroll young artists who are finding it difficult to get loans and funds to start their projects. The problem is if I approach a bank seeking a loan, they say I must have collateral, but as a youth I don’t have a house except the one my father left which is still in his name,” said Chimbetu.

Return of Allan Chimbetu

Dendera music singer Allan Chimbetu believes his star is far from dimming and still has what it takes to warrant respect as one of the top most musicians in the cut-throat music industry. The Sony hit maker has apparently been playing second fiddle to nephew Sulumani Chimbetu ever since they separated ways.
