the main drawcard for the anticipated seven-hour music and entertainment extravaganza that has all the trappings of a family outing where all members, including fathers will enjoy spending time with their families — something that is rare these days.
Characterised by jumping castles, braai, horse riding, traditional foods and face paintings among other activities, the show will start at 11am and end at 6pm.
In an interview at the weekend, organisers of the show and United Family International Church Chinhoyi resident pastor Adonijah Nyakudya said the fun day was born out of the realisation that families hardly have time to share and bond together as they are busy working to put food on the table.
“The main purpose for having this day is to create a platform for families to enjoy time together in an atmosphere of fun, security and, of course, music from Pastor and Mai Charamba.
“By creating this platform we will have met our community obligation of ensuring harmonious existence,” he said.
The show promises a bumper crowd judging by the number of people who attend UFIC in Chinhoyi and those who are going to come on the day as the Charambas are a major crowd-puller in the town.
“We have a membership of around 1 500 and we hope everyone from our church will attend or support this noble cause by buying tickets for their families.
“The proceeds will go a long way in helping us put together our programmes as a church including charity,” said Pastor Nyakudya, who is no stranger to the music industry after spending several years working as the couple’s band manager before his pastoral calling.
He also featured on some tracks by Pastor and Mai Charamba including “Pakuwanana” off the one of the couple’s albums.
His wife, Mai Munyaradzi Nyakudya, is also no stranger to the music industry having been a Fishers of Men backing vocalist for several years.
Supporting acts include local gospel artiste Rudo Chimhene, who has an album to her credit while other slots will be open to other upcoming artistes who need exposure.
