Tanzanian songstress Zuchu was trending last weekend after she was photographed crying before greeting Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli.

Magufuli invited different artistes for lunch while they performed his campaign songs ahead of the Tanzanian general elections.

After performing, she asked to greet the President and was left in tears when he called her by her name

"I only have three months in the industry and I thought I'd greet the President after like ten years. It is not a small deal," she told Wasafi Media

Adding that;

"Three months ago, I wouldn't believe that I would meet the President. This is unforgettable."

In an Instagram post, she had revealed that that was her dream that came true

"My mother always told me patience is key. These are the fruits of patience if today the President knows me. I thank God for a loving President who values everyone. 

"Dreams do come true, believe it. I want to encourage young girls that don't know when they are going to make it in life, I want to tell you that your day is coming, do not give up"
