THE festive season fever has officially gripped Bulawayo, and Saturday night was proof of that as music lovers packed a popular city nightspot for the highly anticipated Saintfloew and Nisha Ts live show.
The venue was filled to capacity, with an energetic, mostly young crowd ready to dance, sing, and celebrate some of Zimbabwe’s top chart-toppers.
From the moment doors opened in the late afternoon, the atmosphere was electric. By evening, there was hardly standing room left, with fans overflowing into the VIP and VVIP areas, all eager to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars.
Local acts set the perfect tone for the night. DJ Dosto opened the event, followed by Eazy Vert who thrilled fans with MJ Sings and Murphy Cubic’s Asibe Mnandi and Nitefreak’s Masterclass.
FFF Molfy, who shared MC duties with Nono, kept the audience fired up with back-to-back local hits. Umlungu Omnyama sparked spontaneous dance circles with his infectious beats, proving that Zimbabwe’s party spirit is second to none.
The momentum continued with standout live performances from Reymar, Ma9nine, and Ninety6, each bringing their unique flavour to the stage. DJ Gadaffi delivered one of the night’s best sets, keeping the crowd alive between performances.
A highlight came when Ninety6 performed his track Gumba Kumba, inviting two lucky fans to join him on stage before teaming up with Ma9nine for their explosive joint track 996, which sent the crowd into a frenzy.
The night took an emotional turn when one of the main acts of the night, Nisha Ts stepped onto the stage with her live band.
Her soulful and energetic performance had fans singing along passionately, with one fan even breaking down in tears during her set.
She performed her collaboration Single with Reymar, as well as her hit Admire Kadembo and other crowd favourites, leaving fans completely mesmerised.
After her performance, Nisha Ts expressed her gratitude, saying, “Haa, vanhu veBulawayo magetsi,” as she commended the city’s unmatched vibe and love.
Then, as the clock ticked into the early hours of Sunday morning, the man of the moment, Saintfloew, stormed the stage to deafening screams.
His high-energy performance and magnetic stage presence reminded everyone why he is one of Zimbabwe’s most talked-about artistes. Performing fan favourites such as Wicked Weekend, Silas Mavende, and Hera, Saintfloew’s set brought the night to a powerful climax.
As dawn broke and the music faded, one thing was clear: the future of Zimbabwean music is bright, as the night’s unity and spontaneity saw artistes jumping onto each other’s sets, creating unforgettable moments that kept fans on their feet till the very end.
