Selmor and her elder sister Sandra have chronicled how they
were abused by their step mother, Daisy .
Sandra said in an interview with DJ Ollah7 :“I stayed with
dad for a long time while she was with my stepmother after I finished school. I
can’t lie, it was difficult and hard situation. A lot would happen.
“I would always see that there was favouritism on children.
I remember this incident in Glenwood, Kwekwe, I was 16, dad and new wife were
building a house in Norton, the green house.
“I was not informed about the house, even though other
children knew. After the house was done, dad came to bid us farewell. I didn’t
know the date they were moving out.”
“I went home and it was a sorrowful state. I was hurt. The
house was empty and I didn’t know where they went.
She dismissed claims that her playlist was targeted at her
stepmother, Daisy.
“During my show, I always start with the song “Changu
Chiiko,” then “Seiko’ with a low tempo. We then shift gears as we proceed as
has become the norm at our shows. People who frequent our shows know our
playlist better and that playlist was not targeted at anyone,.
“I was pained when I realised that I had been omitted from
the initial line-up for the festival. I only got an invitation via e-mail on
short notice. To my surprise, the organising team started planning this event
in June.”
“It’s quite unfortunate that they keep on excluding me from
family events. I was also shocked when the festival organisers claimed they had
omitted me from the line-up because they had a small budget.
“To my surprise, I have never asked for payment to perform
at family events. I was also shocked when the organisers told me that they had
a tight budget for the show.”
“His situation was difficult because of mama (Daisy) who
didn’t want us to be close to him.”
“Before our father died, he sat down with all his
daughters, including Samantha, and advised us to unite.
