Singer Tunosiwe Mwakalinga popularly known by her stage name ‘Tuno’ had a nasty experience at her ‘Home Coming Concert’ in Karonga when she was allegedly manhandled by fans.

Reports indicate that the singer and her crew were manhandled on Saturday, September 28 at the event which was organised by Mwashunguti Entertainment Company.

The ‘Indedi’ hit-maker who also hails from Karonga, was the only big artist performing on the day and she was allegedly paid MK1.9 million to perform for 3 hours but she only performed for 1 hour a thing that did not go down well with the organisers.

When Tuno left the stage after her performance, one of the organisers grabbed the microphone telling fans not to allow the artist to leave the stage as she was paid to perform for 3 hours not 1 hour.

This prompted the fans to go backstage and start starting attacking Tuno, beating her little sisters and her booking manager.

But in a series of Facebook posts on Sunday morning, Tuno said the organisers of the event planned the attack and said she could not perform for 3 hours because the organisers did not pay her the full amount that the two sides agreed on.

“I performed for 1 hour , and this guy, the organiser his name is Victor,  started the chaos saying I should perform for 3 hours . Mind you he didn’t pay what we agreed and I had to use some of my money to come to Karonga,  for my fans and family, I am fully disappointed, very disappointed,” said Tuno.

Meanwhile, Police in Karonga said they have not yet received any complaint on the matter.
