by FHATU MULAUDZI
BEITBRIDGE — SOUTH African Amapiano artist Eemoh drew the ire of Zimbabwean music lovers after arriving for a fully booked show at Pagomba Café well after 03:00am, triggering frustration that saw some revellers throwing bottles and other objects toward the stage.
The event, which had been billed as one of Beitbridge’s biggest festive-season shows, featured a strong supporting lineup including local Amapiano DJs, gqom acts, dancehall performers and Afro-house artists who kept the crowd entertained while awaiting the headliner.
Among them were crowd favourites DJ Fydale, Kara Blac, and Beitbridge-based producer NheeNhee, who helped maintain the energy despite growing impatience.
By the time Eemoh finally arrived, a portion of the audience had already left in anger, and those remaining were visibly agitated.
However, once the South African star took to the stage, he delivered a powerful and polished performance that gradually calmed the atmosphere.
His set—featuring hits that have dominated Amapiano charts across the region—won back many disappointed fans and helped restore order.
Promoters later apologised for the delay, citing logistical challenges, while some local artists expressed hope that future shows would prioritise strict scheduling to protect both performers and fans.
Despite the rocky start, the night ended on a musical high, reaffirming Beitbridge’s growing reputation as a key entertainment hub.
