Organisers of this year’s Harare edition of the Zimbabwe Republic Police Commissioner-General’s Fanfare say all is set for the show which will see some of the country’s seasoned musicians sharing the stage.
The Fanfare will be held tomorrow at Mkushi Camp formerly known as Morris Depot Grounds and is a family show.
The line up includes Baba na Mai Charamba, Sulumani Chimbetu, Baba Harare, Peter Moyo, Andy Muridzo, Jah Signal, Carol Mujokoro, Eriya Tembo, Morgan and Tendai Dembo, Chillspot, Sir Gono and Romeo Gasa, among others.
The Police Dance Band will also perform at the event where children will be treated to police vehicle rides, motor-bike rides, and jumping castles.
The Commissioner-General Fanfare which is an annual event is a brainchild of the Commissioner-General of the Police, Godwin Matanga and all proceeds will go to charity.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said, they were more than geared and this year is bigger and better.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police’s Commissioner-General of Police’s 2023 Fanfare edition will be held on November 4, at Mkushi Police Academy grounds, formerly Morris Depot, grounds from 7am to 9pm.”
“The Commissioner of Road Motor Transportation under the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has granted a waiver of commuter omnibus route authority to enable smooth travel of revellers to and from Mkushi Police Academy.
“Therefore, all holders of valid commuter omnibus route authority that operate within Harare are advised that the route restrictions for their road service permits will be waived only tomorrow,” he said. He said the public is invited to this big family event.
“There will be lots of entertainment, especially for children in the form of a horse, B car, motorbike, arctic cat rides, jumping castles, face painting, and swimming.”
“Entry charge for adults is US$5 and children pay US$1 per head while games and rides are US$1. Swipe cards are also accepted at the prevailing rate. The police are also offering vending stalls and companies to come and advertise their products. For individuals, the police service is charging US$50 while US$500 for companies.”
