The entertainment fraternity is condoling with the family of veteran pop icon Oliver Mtukudzi whose death was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon.
According to Mtukudzi's record label, Gallo Records, no details are available at the moment.
Speaking to The Times Live a year ago, Mtukudzi stated how happy he was to release his 67th album.
"My 67th album is meant to share a message of introspecting and I'm hoping people learn a thing or two from it. It's an album I wrote last year after I realised that the world keeps getting tangled up in 'unnecessary' problems,” he told The Times Live.
