Also, to us, that was like home, that’s why we wanted to keep it because it’s got so many memories for us with her in it. It’s part of her legacy, we do not really want to lose it,” she said.

The Dispatch Live reported that Bandezwa had already booked Orient Theatre, in East London, however, they had not yet paid for it.
