Murumba Pitch gets rejected by Zimbabwean crowd

A viral video of former Murumba Pitch member Khathutshelo Inno Mangolo is making the rounds online after he was booed off stage in Zimbabwe.

The Amapiano singer, who is famously known as Murumba Pitch, recently exited the duo to pursue a solo career. He was booked in Zimbabwe on 18 July 2025 for the Julyfest in Kadoma that coincided with his birthday.

Twitter (X) user PianoConnectSA revealed how the singer's performance turned to a nightmare as the crowd began to throw objects at him.

From once having fans cry during his performance to being booed off the stage, Mangolo can be heard pleading with the crowd to stop throwing objects at the stage:

"You guys must stop throwing things on the stage, man. At this point, they don't know if I should carry on."

As the angry Zimbabweans continued booing the singer, he was left with no other choice but to cut his performance short and exit the stage.
