In his speech, Samukange expressed his joy to celebrate this significant milestone surrounded by close friends.
"It is not about business or money, but I am happy that everyone here invited is special to me. Thank you for celebrating with me. I know there are "Honourables" and socialites here, but let us enjoy," he said, reflecting the warmth and camaraderie that defined the evening.
The intricate planning and coordination of the event were overseen by the talented Ruolay Agency, led by Ruth Ogbechi. She shared, "He wanted the décor to chronicle his lifestyle. If you saw the red carpet, it was telling a story. We had a tough time planning and designing what he wanted, especially with the rain disrupting our plans." With a playful laugh, she added, "I broke my nail, busy with the show, but seeing Tatenda smile makes it all worthwhile."
