Lucius Banda blocked from performing at Club Planet in Karonga
Music legend ‘Soldier’ Lucius Banda and his Zembani Band got a shock of their lifetime after he was told that a venue he had prior booked for a show was no longer available.

Banda had scheduled for a show on December 27 2019 at Planet Club but when he arrived he found that the place was under lock and key.
Planet Club is one of the most popular entertainment joints in the lakeshore district that hosts live shows.
The owner was not immediately available for comment but in an interview Banda said he was “disappointed.”
“Honestly I am not happy with what happened. As you are aware, we just went there for the love of Karonga people,” Banda told Nyasa Times.
WAS THE BOOKING CONFIRMED?
Vuto la Atumbuka samadziwa business. They are consumed with hate. Anything from central or South is not good enough. Atayeni Soja azakufunani. Bwelani kwathu ku Mangochi tizakupatsani support.
Kk wakumangochi ndiwe chitsilu anakuuza ndan kut ku kalonga ndiatumbuka? Pitaukawoneko and experience the place
We know kuti amalakhula chimbwenu mbwenu. So if shoes fit them they must wear it.
Zosavuta zimenezi khothi basi akupatse zako. Osamaopa mma khothimu abale kuti anthu tidziwe kufunika kolemekeza contract
Sue them assess! Komanso fire your Manager. What good is he or she if she cant arrange contractually binding venue hire agreements for the band? Imagine the wastage from Balaka to Karonga for a no show. Who shoulders that expense? Your Manager should devise a Venue Hire Agreement document to ensure no such thing happens again.
How i like free shows…and missing one within my area is a sin,money is yasowa.

Dont just write comments you need to know the genesis of the story first
Do book using paper work and use those to sue people like these. But if you paid and you have a receipt that is enough
Breach of contract, hence sue for compensation.
This guy likes money too much. Now he’s realising that he can’t have everything in life. It’s political reason he was barred there and he knows it.
Inu antolakhani taziyetsesani kumalemba nkhani yonse munamaliza kufufuza.Kumakhala ndimafunso oti azimasula nkhani.Apa mukamafufuza kodi mwini wamalowo ndi ndani?nanga wapanga zimenezi chifukwa chani?Mwini malo apa waonetsa kuti alibe chikondi ndi ulemu.Ngati kuli kulowetsa zinthu ndale ndiye sadziwa bizinesi.Malawi tizikondana osati kumapanga zinthu zofuna kuti wina zimupweteke olo kuti wina alowe pansi chifukwa Lucius waononganso ndalama kuti akafike pamalopo anthu opanda chikondi
I agree…… si bho, in such business huge expenses are made…..
He can sue.
No, you fool! You went there to make money not for the love of kalonga people. Don’t use political language. You was there to make money through kalonga people, don’t talk bullshit!
KODI NEXT TIME WOYIMBAWO AKADZAKANA KUKAYIMBA KU KARONGA KO POWOPA KUCHITIDWA CHIPONGWE AT THAT “ONLY APPROPRIATE VENUE FOR LIVE SHOW”, SITIDZAKUMVANI MUKUDANDAULA KUTI ANTHU A KU KARONGA AKUSALIDWA? Honestly, owner of the entertainment center is not civilized. He would have communicated in time to give timefor the musician to cancel the trip to Karinga. Mudziganiza kaye musanayambe kumunyoza woyimba wopangidwa chipongweyo.
If it’s money l could have made the same money in Dedza or zomba which would have costed me less as you know it’s close to balaka. I believe in going to all places without segregating an area. Next time don’t call me a fool because l have too many followers and fans it may include your parents do you mean they are followers of a fool yet they are not foolish?
Good one Soldier,indeed it means he dont respect his parents.
A Soldier, just let it go and move on. Don’t argue or trying to explain to some of fools here on Nyasatimes. U are such talented person loved by many and noone want to miss your show once u are in town.
I know this trip has accumulated lots of expenses and it’s hard to believe that the owner just walk up and locked the place.
Hope u had all contract agreement either written or Oral with the owner of the place and still u can win the case, he must reimburse all those cost.
Sir Lucius akhululukireni a Clive pakuti sakudziwa chomwe akuyankhula.Money is nothing in absence of services.
I disagree with you
By the way, did you pay for the venue?
Good questions Lucious Banda. People need to learn to use good tone when airing views. Zili zonse kunyoza without thinking how the victim is feeling. Well said, money can be made anywhere. What the club owner from my home district did is uncalled for. He should be brought to book for the losses.
I fully agree with Lucius. He is loved across Malawi, so I can’t imagine why he was blocked in Karonga. Lucius, never lose hope, you have more followers in Malawi than evil ones, who sabotaged the show.
