Silent Killer at It Again, Disappoints South African Promoters and Fans

Zimbabwean dancehall artist Jimmy Mudereri, popularly known as Silent Killer, has once again sparked controversy after failing to show up for a performance in Durban, South Africa.

The no-show, which occurred at the Cool Runnings music event where he was billed as the main act, has left both fans and promoters “disillusioned,” according to a statement from Stige Movement, the event organisers.

The Stige Movement, led by Nqabutho Prestige “Stige” Dhlamini, expressed extreme disappointment over Silent Killer’s absence.

“We arranged everything to the letter, from direct flights out of Zimbabwe to hotel accommodations, not to mention a 50% advance payment for his performance. His failure to show up is unacceptable and disrespectful to both the team and the fans,” said Dhlamini.

“His failure to show up is unacceptable and disrespectful to both the team and the fans.”

Fans had gathered at the venue with high expectations, eager for Silent Killer’s “electrifying acts,” but were met with the news of his “unexplained nonperformance.”

The Stige Movement has publicly demanded that Silent Killer issue an “unreserved media apology” to both his Durban fans and the promoters.

Failure to apologise will result in “instantaneous legal action,” with the Stige Movement threatening to open a case for breach of contract and damages incurred.

The incident has drawn strong reactions from Zimbabweans, with many expressing their disapproval of Silent Killer’s behaviour.

Blessing Chiwoto commented on the artist’s unreliability, while Milestone Deon lamented, “Talent without character is as good as dead.”

However, not everyone was quick to condemn the artist.

Praise Khulani Moyo defended Silent Killer, stating, “I will never comment again until Silent Killer gives his side of the story.

Last time akazviramba zvekuputika kwendege,” suggesting that there might be an untold side to the story, referencing a past incident where the artist denied involvement in an aeroplane-related issue.

Silent Killer, known as “Ngwere” to his fans, has a history of attracting controversy, frequently making headlines for reasons other than his music.
