Event coordinator, Tapiwa “DJ Mestro” Godi, said the event was meant to celebrate the beauty of Masvingo as a tourism destination of choice.
“It is not only going to be about music but a total celebration of what Masvingo can offer in terms of tourism and hospitality,” said DJ Maestro.
“We also have several activities line-up like marathon, golf, and soccer tournaments line-up for the event.
