Saturday 11, was emotional as one after the other, participants paid tribute to Paul Brickhill, founder of the Book Café at the Sistaz Open Mic.
Guest of Honour at the event, Patience Musa, gave a touching speech, "The story of my life would not be complete without mentioning Paul Brickhill," Patience said. She went on to narrate on her experience at the Mannenberg as well as the old Book Café saying many never knew who Paul was until the passed away because of his humbleness.
Boniface Mavengeni, father to mbira hopeful Tendai Mavengeni said, "
Thumps up to the organisers and all who performed @ Paul's Tribute. It was very emotional celebration of Paul's life. Well I must be very honest such platforms like the Sistaz open Mic are hard to come by. Paul made life easy for a lot of upcoming artists."
The Sistaz Open Mic which is mostly restricted to women artists was on the day open to brothers supporting sistaz and saw many performing, the likes of Kessia Magosha, Tendai Mavengeni, Eve Kawadza, Patience Musa, Ba Shupi, Bryan Kandengu, Tendex Mudzviti, Vera, D-Blok, RedRuffRider, Ammi Jamanda just to mention a few. The celebrations continued with Emilia Patrick taking to the stage to close the show.
