Afro-jazz songbird and heiress to the Tuku Music throne, Selmor Mtukudzi, has been appointed Impala brand ambassador after she had worked with the company for several months.
Selmor (31) is well known for her great hits Nguva Yangu in her album titled Expression which was also nominated Song of the year in the National 2013 Arts Merits Awards (Nama). Recently, she received an arts category award with the Women Enterprise Conference and Awards (WECA) held by the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) in Harare.
Selmor Mtukudzi will be officially unveiled as the company’s ambassador to the public and other corporates at a cocktail event scheduled for September 19 this year at a local Harare hotel.
This development comes after Selmor received a huge endorsement package a month ago when she was handed a Range Rover vehicle by Thompson Dondo who is a music promoter and a businessman from Impala Group of Companies.
The Hangasa hit maker who has also scooped several awards in the music industry is currently in South Africa where she is recording her debut album. In an interview with a local paper, Selmor said that it was an honor to be appointed an ambassador for such a great company, adding that she was happy to be part of the Impala Car Rental family.
“I am greatly humbled for my appointment as the Impala Car Rental ambassador and that Impala Car Rental would see me as a worthy brand to associate with theirs. I cannot wait to start working with them as a team”, said the songtress.
Dondo said that they chose to work with Selmor because she had shown her high level of professionalism.
He said that, from his own point of view, Selmor is a very good artiste who is so professional, both on and off the stage and that is why they decided to engage her and partner her as their brand ambassador.
“I personally believe in Selmor and in my view, she will be the next biggest artiste here in Zimbabwe so we want to be associated with bigger brands and minds. We also believe we are a big brand that has risen from ground zero to where we are today as well we think Selmor will do likewise besides that she is the daughter of the late music legend, Oliver Mtukudzi. We look forward to have her rise above her father’s name and become a bigger brand”.
Dondo later commended Selmor saying that she is level headed, adding that her ability to socialize with many in the creative sector was clearly an advantage to her.
