“So nikaingia kwa room nikapata Kanda Bongo Man amevaa vizuri ready to come down and perform, and he was in very good mood. I told him, ‘Kanda, kumeharibika,” Machoka shared.
However the reason for the deportation from the State House was not given at that time, Machoka said the deportation information left Bongo Man confused.
