Tay Grin, Lomwe cancel shows to avoid clash

Lomwe said nothing has changed about the show’s strategy. He, however, lamented lack of enough support from corporate world towards his show.
“Nothing will change, the show will be held just according to plan. The only problem am having now is lack of enough support from corporate world.
