Private jet to shuttle Nyovest for gigs

Bruce Ndlovu
After initial fears that superstar rapper Cassper Nyovest might be forced to abandon gigs in Bulawayo and Harare due to another high profile engagement in South Africa, the wordsmith has confirmed that he will shuttle between the two countries via a private jet.

Nyovest is set to make his third appearance in Bulawayo since making his debut in the City of Kings two years ago with a gig at the City Hall car park on Friday night.

For that gig, he will share the stage with local rapper Cal_Vin, who he propelled to stardom with a remix of his hit song Zaï¿½ï¿½khuphani, while house DJ Skaiva, Zimdancehallaï¿½ï¿½s Soul Jah Love and Freeman will also perform.

The following night, the rapper is set to headline the Impala Car Rental 10th anniversary celebrations at Glamis Arena in Harare.

However, sandwiched between those two gigs in Zimbabweaï¿½ï¿½s two largest cities, Nyovest is also been billed to perform at the Major League Gardens, an annual show that attracts thousands and will this year be headlined by the rapper and Nigerian star Davido.

Nyovestaï¿½ï¿½s musical director and keyboardist Alie Keyz confirmed that Nyovest would not shun the lure of the dollar, as he had a private jet ready to ferry him from South Africa to Bulawayo and back, before he is shuttled back to the capital by the same jet after his appearance at Major League Gardens.

aï¿½?Yes, I can confirm that we will be travelling between the three cities by private jet. Heaï¿½ï¿½ll miss none of the gigs because travelling between Harare, Bulawayo and Johannesburg is very possible when one is using that mode of transportation,aï¿½? said the Cowdray Par-bred Keys who will be travelling with the Tito Mboweni hit-maker.

As he usually does towards the gig, one of South Africaaï¿½ï¿½s most successful urban music concerts, Nyovest has been trumpeting the gig on his social media pages for weeks.

Due to the fact that it is organised by the Major League DJs, the twins who Nyovest counts among his closest friends in the South African music industry, many had expected Nyovest to throw his full weight behind the gig. .
