ALL is set for the Chibuku Neshamwari Harare provincial finals at Zebra Bar in Mbare tomorrow.
About 10 groups from Harare Province will battle it out for top honours.
This year’s competition will feature popular dances such as muchongoyo, mbakumba, setapa, bira and nyau.
The winning group will walk away with a $1 000 cash prize and earn a ticket to represent Harare province at the national finals to be held in Bulawayo on July 18.
The group which will come out tops at the national finals will walk away with $4 000. The second best group will receive $3 000 while $2000 has been set aside for the group which come out third.
The competition is sponsored by Delta Beverages.
Delta Beverages marketing manager Patricia Murambinda said all was set for the Harare provincial finals which will be followed by Matabeleland North finals.
“As Delta Beverages, we value the privilege of promoting and celebrating our culture and heritage. This is part of what it means to be Zimbabwean.
“Through our Chibuku brand, we’ve been committed to the arts for over 50 years now,” said Murambinda.
She said Chibuku had proved to be a favourite brew for many people.
“Chibuku is the people’s beer and Harare people should be at the provincial competitions on Saturday. Our consumers will enjoy great entertainment free of charge in a safe environment,” she said.
Lucky imbibers will get an opportunity to sample the Chibuku product for free.
The Chibuku Neshamwari competitions date back to the early 1960s and are run in tripartite partnership with the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe, Delta Beverages and Zimbabwe Traditional Dance Association.
