Exiled legendary Zimbabwean musician Thomas Mapfumo has rubbished claims that he is considering returning to Zimbabwe after being offered a US$700,000 package that includes a house, car and cash by controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo.
Nehanda Radio received an audio from Mapfumo which was also sent to Chivayo in which he made his feelings clear.
"Hello Wicknell, let me tell you, please stop soiling my name. If what you think you doing is good, go ahead without involving my name, don't soil my name talking nonsense about me. I don't know you and I have never met you.
"I just hear about you on the news. I don't hate you, just leave my name alone. Don't play with my name. Don't involve me in your dealings.
"I don't want to be exchanging insults with you Wicknell. You are too young for me to be dealing with you, I am 78 years old now and cannot be seen trading insults with you. I ask you again to leave my name alone.
