WHAT about 20 000 women converging at one place, on a Sunday, relaxing, drinking and dancing to various songs being belted out by live bands and some of the best musicians in the country?
Is it possible?
Yes, said the organisers of the popular Doek and Slay all-women parties.
The last time, the show attracted more than 11 000 at Aex Sports Club.
It was a record attendance for the all-women parties which have now been spread all over the country and, for the first time, were also held in Zambia.
There are plans to take the parties to Zimbabwean communities in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand.
On Sunday, the final Doek & Slay party in Harare will be held at Alex Sports Club and expectations are that there will be a record crowd which some believe could be as high as 20 000 women.
The organisers have even expanded the space they usually hire to accommodate more ladies for their last H-Town party of the year.
The team assured fans that preparations are now at 60 percent with only six days left for the much-anticipated show.
The Doek & Slay project, which was officially launched last month, will be headlined by Jah Prayzah, Enzo Ishall, Master H and Tamy Moyo.
“We are ready, the preparations are now at 60 percent, the 40 percent remaining is just the tents left to be placed.
“As the countdown is almost over, we urge the ladies to avoid buying tickets from unauthorised ticket platforms and scams on social media.
“They should be cautious and protect themselves from potential fraud.
“In light of increasing ticket scams, we’ve partnered with the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to protect our patrons.
“We encourage the ladies to avoid drinking too much because many of them will be driving,” said one of the organisers.
The team said they are happy to have created an entertainment platform which is safe and conducive for women.
“We have managed to create a safe space for women that promotes and exports local music and fashion.
“It allows women to celebrate African culture, heritage and diversity, providing a platform and opportunities for women’s economic empowerment.”
