the late Tongai “Dhewa” Moyo
PETER Moyo says it’s now a tradition for his family and their inner circle to visit Tongai “Dhewa” Moyo’s graveyard and lay wreaths every year on October 15.
The 31-year-old said Dhewa’s family also has a special way to remember the Utakataka Express founder member.

“It has become a tradition that every year on the 15th of October that we visit my father’s graveyard just to lay flowers and of course clean the place where his remains were interred.
“Afterwards, we meet the family elders who give us advice on how to keep the legacy intact.

“This time around I travelled along with Cossy Rules and other people who used to be my father’s closest allies.
“These people are the ones who have been there for us as a family, nine years after my father’s death.
“Of course there are so many people who have always been there for us but when it comes to the people who used to hang around with my father in Kwekwe there are a few who would frequent our home,” he said.
The Utakataka Express ordained heir to the throne said elders advised him to observer unity and ensure that Dhewa does not turn in his grave.
“The elders want peace and nothing else to ensure that we keep my father’s legacy going.
“They have been saying this repeatedly and I try by all means to unite and fend for my family.

“As a child, I also do my best and I can’t say I have it all but the little I have I share with them to ensure that we survive,” he said.-hmetro
