South Africa-based Zimbabwean gospel musician Alpha Nyaradzai Nhambure, whose stage name is Makoti, ties the knot with her long time lover Friday Chipara in Chivhu tomorrow.
Makoti, who is known for her album “Vanotogarira Dare”, said she was happy with the development.
“If you are a gospel singer, all eyes will be on you and I am happy that God has done great for us,” she said.
A civil engineer by profession, Makoti, who flew into the country on Sunday, said she was gearing up for a dream wedding.
“I am excited to be opening a new chapter in my life, marrying someone who understands, loves and cares for me. We have known each other for years but I could not talk about him publicly because I was patiently waiting for the right time,” she said.
The 35-year-old musician said she is not going to quit music after marrying Chipare.
“My husband understands me and nothing will change. I will continue doing music with his blessings as one of my biggest fan,” she said.
Makoti’s husband-to-be is originally from Zvimba and also works in South Africa as an electrical engineer.
Makoti, who has been in the music industry for three years, having released her first album in 2014 is riding high with her latest eight-track album.
The album, which was co-produced by Charles Ayibeki and Tatenda Makumbe carries songs “Vanotigarira Dare”, “Zvinoda Munyengetero”, “Mufaro Wangu”, “Handina Nyadzi”, “I Surrender”, “Makatendeka”, “Ndiratidzei Nzira” and “Kushandira Jesu”.
