Haters have gone after my daughter – St Maiko

St Maiko with his daughter Mwiza

Seasoned Musician and Activist  Maiko Zulu popularly known as St. Maiko has come out strong at some people he says are trying to take their hate for him to his upcoming daughter Artist.

In a strong worded statement which he posted on his facebook page, Zulu says those exhibiting hate for him must just chill because he is not interested in any leadership be it politics or religion.

It has come to my attention that certain cliques of people have clearly been unsettled by the emergence of my daughter Mwiza on the music scene to a point where others have even been insinuating that I now use my daughter to speak. Other colleagues from media circles whom I will not name here have literally transferred their animosity of me and what I stand for to an innocent young female. We saw this when I requested a few of them to help her promote her What A Shame singe. But we knew that others would assist, and they did.
During the last ZAM AGM which I was not even a party to, my daughter was elected to sit on the Tivo Shikapwashya led executive purely on merit, a situation that has further discomforted certain people.
Well let me put it this way for you:
Mwiza is an extremely intelligent, focused, hard working and disciplined young student/musician/activist who is earning her place in the music industry due to her persistence and passion for the arts.
Being a product of two musicians was not her choice but God’s plan and its something that will never be altered. Her DNA is what it is and cannot be changed. That however has not taken away from the effort that she has applied in her budding music career. It is unfortunate that people that often speak of young people becoming responsible and taking up leadership roles are the very ones that become unsettled when young people aspire. For your information, I am not interested in any leadership position be it in the arts, politics or even religion.
So for God’s sakes, do not judge my children using my sins because I raised them not to hate on anyone in spite of their thoughts for their parents.
Relax bane…
