AN ecstatic fan gave Alick Macheso US$1000 in appreciation of his musical performance at the ongoing ZimAfro T10 cricket games at Harare Sports Club on Monday night.
Macheso thrilled a multi-racial crowd with a non-stop two-hour performance, which started at 8pm.
Many white fans were caught up in the wave of ecstasy.
A Harare man, only identified as Dickson, gave Macheso US$1000, in appreciation of his genius.
“I blessed Macheso with ten US$100 notes because I was touched when he managed to thrill a multi-cultural crowd where some white fans cried.
“This was an international music festival for us fans of Alick Macheso.
“I do not usually attend Macheso’s shows but, from today onwards, it’s a must.
“Macheso is now a living legend.”
The superstar hailed the fans for their support.
“This band (Orchestra Mberikwazvo) is known as ‘band ravanhu’ and we perform everywhere.
“We kindly ask you to thank the organisers of these games.
“We were also blessed to meet this beautiful crowd that I have never seen before.
“We thank the event organisers for this beautiful event and the security you provided.”
Macheso even begged for additional time on stage which, however, was not granted.
“I personally tried to ask for more hours of performance but the law said no.
“Tinokudai varungu hatigone nemi.
“It is better to arrive late than to be called late.”
Macheso struggled to leave the stage as fans mobbed him.
Orchestra Mberikwazvo publicist, Tich Makahamadze, hailed the fans for their support.
“We salute the organisers of these games for inviting us to come and perform.”
