Blackout stopped Diamond’s Mtwara performance ending Wasafi festival which was taking place in Harmonize’s turf, Mtwara.
At first, everything seemed okay, the sound check had turned out amazing and on the D-Day it was all systems go.
A few of the performances had ended well with Rayvanny being one of the artist’s who had already graced the stage.
However, when Diamond stepped up, he never lasted as darkness marred the once lively celebration.
He tried belting out acapellas as engineers tried to fix the electrical hitch but it yielded nothing leading to cancelation.

They’re further looking at the possibility of the technicians sleeping on their jobs.
“Hitilafu ya umeme ndio ulipelekea tatizo lile na sasa hivi uchunguzi unaofanywa ni kujua je generator ilipata tatizo yenyewe au kuna mtu yeyote alihusika kivyovyote au kuna uzembe wowote ulitokea” stated Baba Levo.
Heavy Losses
Despite Diamond holding a repeat of Mtwara’s Wasafi festival, the bongo crooner incurred heavy losses running into millions of shillings.
With a heavily booked diary, Diamond had to charter a plane to and from his Zanzibar gig.

His main agenda was to ensure that he doesn’t leave a bad name in Mtwara thus the repeat edition.
“Diamond Platinumz amepata hasara ya pesa nyingi sana kwa sababu alisema siwezi kuondoka Mtwara bila ya kuwaambia watu wa Mtwara, bila kuwaridhisha watu wa Mtwara” Added Baba Levo.
While on the same note, Baba Levo advised Diamond to sack some of his staff, his bouncer included.
He was said to have let Diamond sing acapellas in total darkness in disregard to security concerns.
