And perhaps to underline the place of reggae in the discourse of the townships and its struggles, the artists toured the populous suburb of Mbare, where he was met by enthusiastic youths who lauded him for his music and raced for several kilometres just to be near his top of the range escort vehicle.
Dressed in flashy black T shirt and matching trousers the reggae artists smiled occasionally and extended his hands to appreciate the love.
