On a historic day in Dodoma, Tanzania, Wasafi WCB's latest signee Zuchu, the talented daughter of veteran singer Khadija Kopa, met President John Pombe Magufuli face to face.
As part of the artistes who attended Tanzania's ruling party CCM's event, Zuchu performed before several dignitaries and hundreds of supporters of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).
