Police summon Alick Macheso

HARARE – Sungura musician Alick Macheso was yesterday summoned to Harare Central Police Station where police wanted to question him in connection with allegations that he is inciting his fans to bash photojournalists at his concerts.

Macheso was said to be in Muzarabani for a humanitarian assignment, but has been decreed to report to Harare Central Police Station on Thursday.

Assistant commissioner Crispen Makedenge, the officer commanding CID Law and Order Division, was said to be handling the matter.

He referred the Daily News to Police General Headquarter but efforts to obtain comment from there were futile at the time of going to print.

William Tsandukwa, who manages the musician’s band, breathed fire against journalists, claiming they had an agenda to destroy the band.

Macheso has been fuming since imprudent photographs of him and his female fans were published in a local daily.

At a show last weekend, the musician reportedly complained that the pictures could lead people to jump to the wrong conclusion that he had amorous ties with the women.
