UNFRIENDLY and biting cold spells might be sweeping across the country but club-goers, creatives, and events planners are having none of it.
This weekend alone, Harare will be saturated with both outdoor and indoor events.
In other parts of Zimbabwe, the script is the same as event planners and creatives who make their living from live acts remain defiant.
Below are some of the major events to keep you warm this weekend:
