Zimbabwean music star apologises after kicking fan off stage

Zimbabwean music star Rodney Mashandure, famous by his stage name Jah Master, has apologised for kicking a fan who had gone on stage during his performance.

The incident happened on Sunday during a state-sponsored gala to protest against sanctions imposed by the US and European Union against politicians and companies linked to human rights abuses.

A video of the incident sparked condemnation against the musician.

Jah Master has said in a Facebook post that he will take the fan for a medical checkup and give him all proceeds from the show.

State-owned Herald newspaper has tweeted a video of the incident:

“Jah Master has apologised for this incident in which he kicked a fan at a concert at the weekend. In a lengthy Facebook post, the artiste said he is taking the fan for medical assessment. He said he will also give the fan all proceeds from the show.

Is it enough to redeem him?”
