Speaking to NewsDay, Killer T’s manager, Kudzai Biston, said they have since made a decision not to enter any awards in future. This comes after the National Arts Merit Awards (Nama) judges’ decision not to award him the award for Song of the Year in recognition of his track, Takangodaro which lost to Jah Prayzah’s song, Mudhara Vachauya.
Said Biston:
After this edition, we have decided not to enter any awards. It is very disappointing and we do not know how they adjudicate all this. Last year, we feel we were robbed and this year again? We can’t repeat this.
This is not the first time artistes have complained about Nama awards selection. In 2014, Edith WeUtonga attacked Nama adjudicators for selecting Olivia Charamba as Outstanding Female Musician ahead of her and Selmor Mtukudzi.
