Murumba Pitch set for Zimbabwe return after on-stage rejection
Amapiano artist Khathutshelo Mangolo, better known as Murumba Pitch, is set to return to Zimbabwe for another performance, despite recently being booed off stage. He had headlined a show in Kadoma on 18 July, but the crowd unexpectedly rejected his set. Still, Murumba Pitch plans to make a comeback in Zimbabwe soon. As reported by Herald Online , Murumba Picth will join fellow South African music heavyweights Mafikizolo, The Soil, and Vusi Nova as headline acts for this year's Jacaranda Music Festival. The festival, themed 'Amplifying African Excellence', will run from 3 to 5 October at Thorn Park Polo Grounds in Harare. The Amapiano artist, who recently left the Murumba Pitch duo to launch his solo career, was performing at Julyfest in Kadoma on 18 July 2025, his birthday. Speaking to Sol Phenduka on Podcast and Chill , Murumba Pitch said he doesn't believe the stage failure had anything to do with xenophobia. He explained that he couldn't blame the crowd because they seemed to prefer a different genre, high-tempo music like dancehall. According to him, the promoters also mentioned that the audience had expected a different sound. He added that performing in Bulawayo and Harare is always a great experience.

'Visitors will truly feel that they are in Africa, with access to a Big 5 reserve with lions and elephants – Dinokeng – less than an hour's drive from Steyn City. No LIV event will be anything like this one and we are confident that the world's golf lovers will make travelling to ours, the world's most beautiful country, a must-do trip on their calendar. 'LIV will also help to popularise golf in South Africa, and I also look forward to using the big concerts each day as a platform to show off our amazing home-grown, internationally competitive entertainment. We take our hats off to LIV as an organisation for heeding the call to include Africa on their calendar if they wish to call themselves a truly global brand. This is what we want to see for other sports too, from Formula One to the Summer Olympics. 'We are excited to work with LIV Golf's team to deliver a festival of sport and culture that will inspire fans, boost tourism, and create lasting opportunities for our communities, because LIV has committed to reinvesting into the countries that welcome them.'
