Tanzanian singers Diamond Platnumz and Rayvany had a minor accident during the weekend while entertaining fans in Zanzibar.
The two singers fell off stage after it collapsed while they were having a very energetic performance during the Wasafi Festival.
Diamond was performing on stage with fellow Wasafi artist Mbosso before Rayvanny joined the stage, which gave up to their weight and crashed down.
Mbosso however, was left standing and was a little bit clueless on what happened before he realized the two had fallen.
“Nakuja kushtukaa ..Heeeeee….!!! Kumbe mambo ndo yalivyokuwa …”ndugu zangu Chaliiii….., nikabaki nachungulia tu? !!! “SUMBAWANGA bwanaaa…!!! “Tupo Salama Alhamdullillah.. “ZANZIBAR Jumanne hii.” he said on social media.

The two fell after the podium caved in, causing them to slip hitting their body parts on the metals used to mount the stage. They were rescued by stewards who were providing security services at the event.
Despite the unfortunate event, the two went on with their performance but were later taken back stage to nurse their injuries.

Just a few weeks ago, Bongo star Aslay became the laugh of the town after falling off the stage during a performance in Kisumu. He was not injured in the incident.
