RADIO royalty KVG is set to reunite with Pathisani and bring their unmatched energy and stage charisma to the stage tomorrow at the National Arts Merit Awards.
The duo made their name at StarFM before Pathisani left to pursue his interests at other radio stations.
With confidence, style, and magnetism both on screen and stage, the duo has emerged as one of the most sought-after MCs and brand influencers.
Running under the theme “Fearless Creativity,” the 24th edition of NAMA is set for the Harare International Convention Centre (HICC).
“We proudly unveil KVG and Pathisani ‘Shumba Pazvese’ Sibanda as the official hosts for the 24th edition of the NAMA.
“KVG commands the stage, she owns the room, she delivers flawless hosting with confidence and charisma.
“She doesn’t just host an event, she elevates it. Every introduction becomes iconic. Every transition seamless. Every moment unforgettable.
“A commanding presence. A voice that carries authority. A personality larger than the stage itself. Pathisani doesn’t just host, he owns the moment.
“With unmatched charisma and fearless delivery, he embodies the very spirit of this year’s celebration.
“This is not just a host reveal. This is the arrival of a legend. Get ready for power, prestige and pure stage dominance.”
One of the performers, Melyssa “Melyssa ZW” Dlodlo, who is a singer-songwriter and dancer, said she can hardly wait to perform at the show.
“It’s a great honour to be among the performers for such a prestigious event. It is indeed a highlight of my career so far.
“I always give my best on stage so definitely this will be another one to remember- a surprise or two to make it extra special of course.
“I’ve been intentional about the quality of my craft for years so yes, like I said, it is a great honour but also a reflection of what I’ve been building,” she said.
Ministers Ellard and Sharon Cherayi , Vabati VaJehova, Sku, Snowy Natasha Mlalazi, Dorcus Moyo, Cleo Arie and Lil Eliana will hold it down for the gospel session.
Paddington Chiwashira, with his first attempt at recording, will deliver the hit song “Manhanga Matete” on stage.
