Community Centre for the belated Africa Day celebrations organised by Humana People to People.
The musician did not disappoint the entertainment-starved fans as he belted out some of his hit songs. Kapfupi interacted well with the fans, some of who travelled severalkilometres to see the “Mai Nga” hitmaker in action.
“Gee West . . . Mahalape, Wakudaro . . . hama yako. Nyarara Bonjisi ndichakutengera mazino,” Kapfupi chanted together with the children.
He then burst into his famous song, “Mukadzi WaSabhuku” sending fans into ecstasy. Kapfupi also did the Nyau dances much to the delight of the fans. The dance is very popular in the area.
Humana People to People programmes officer Charles Mutizira said the belated Africa Day celebrations were part of the organisation’s Open Sunday policy where the community interacts.
“Every last Sunday of the month, we have what we call Open Day. People from the community converge and interact. The people are educated and entertained. People also share knowledge about good farming methods and we bring big artistes to perform,” he said.
Sixty-eight youths from different countries who had cycled from Harare also had an opportunity to interact and watch Kapfupi in action.
The 68, drawn from Angola, China, Guinea Bissau, Ecuador, Brazil, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana and DRC among others are part of the Frontline Institute and have been touring different countries in the region.
After seeing Kapfupi performing, 27-year-old Elas Jocio Sitoe of Mozambique said Zimbabwe has great talent.
“I have toured Malawi, Zambia and Namibia, but I have never seen anything like this. I am very thrilled, the music is entertaining,” she said.
