Dancehall musician Winky D has joined the line-up of local acts that will perform with South Africa’s Mafikizolo and Zahara at Harare International Conference Centre on March 6.
Other local musicians to perform at the show are Jah Prayzah and Pah Chihera.
Winky D is known for outclassing international musicians when he shares the stage with them on local soil and the South African acts will have to bring outstanding acts to overpower the “Ninja President”
Jah Prayzah is also on top of his game while Pah Chihera is on a mission to prove that she is not a one-hit-wonder.
But the South African musicians know their Zimbabwean fans very well and they are likely to live up to the occasion.
Mafikizolo staged a good show at the same venue in December last year and their “second coming” could be more emphatic.
Zahara has performed at the HICC before and she made Zimbabwe her second home with a string of performances in Harare and Bulawayo in 2013.
On all visits, Zahara left lasting impressions and this should be a welcome return for the “Loliwe” hitmaker.
Simmad Entertainment, which brought Mafikizolo last year, is organising the upcoming show.
Simba Madziva of Simmad Entertainment said they had learnt a lot from mistakes made with security at Mafikizolo show and they will ensure a smooth event.
“We apologise for the chaos and inconvenience at Mafikizolo show.
Twice the expected number of fans turned up and we were ill-prepared. We have now learnt how to handle such events,” said Madziva.
“We will have six entry points and there will not be many demarcations.
“We will charge $15 for upstairs part and $25 for the downstairs arena.
“We will have an electronic system to check tickets and doors will open two hours before the show. We are looking forward to a smooth event.”
