THE purported recent death of Namibian musician, Phura, was this week denounced as rumours by his agent company, Gariseb Management. In a statement the company said: “I would hereby like to state on the confusing “news” that has been doing the rounds since Saturday April 25 about the death of Timothy Duwe, better known as Phura.” “We officially affirm that these are only rumours and that Phura is very much alive. These rumours are seriously misleading and disturbing to Phura, his associates, fans and most importantly his relatives. It is in this respect that we renounce these rumours and desire for it to stop.” The statement said that Phura appreciates everybody’s concern in this regard and also for the support which he has received throughout the years. The company announced that Phura, together with Backos, Stanley and Stella are scheduled to perform in Khorixas tomorrow.
