The academic opportunity will sideline him from studio work for four years. However he repeatedly assured his fans that this is not a retirement as he is only taking a step at a time.
The Lilongwe based artist thanked his fans for the strong support, not forgetting his mother and uncle whose tireless efforts he said have led him where he is.
“My Mum, Freency Mandira and Uncle Pizzaro Lukhanda, I salute you for your efforts in helping me secure this scholarship.”
