First street

The once street theater packed first street has been starved its once glamorous action packed and comic street theater that saw the rise of the likes of Kapfupi the music industry.

Instead of giggling to the comic actions of the low profile and still to be icons of the entertainment industry "Amen" is now a common word at First street as people gather around very energetic, lam not sure whether to call them ministers, pastors or evangelists. A few months ago l passed by a group of people who were giggling as if they were listening to the top South African comedian, Kau. The man who was delivering the word was wrapped with a jacket around his waste. the worst had happened, thank God l missed the scene. the Pastor's trouser had burst when he was demonstrating whatever he was teaching.

My take on these First street churches or preacher guys is, why not find some where more convenient to preach than expose your dignity to that level.Of course the proud do not have a place in the house of GOD,but just think of it this way, give back street theater their arena and find your own arena. they are also teaching just like everyone else.

hifa week

The festival has come and gone, and lam happy to confirm that l was there. the festival was just amazing, full of surprises and disappointments.
As l walked around l could see quit e a number of Different faces, some were enjoying while some were just mesmerized by what they were seeing.

The Festival was full of energy and life,especially at the youth zone were young stars churned out their talents in singing and dancing. Ammunition a hip hop group of youngsters alongside Tags kept the audience on their toes with their music that is well coordinated and well produced. Most of the members are from Arrendell High School in Harare. These girls have set a pace for the Zimbabwean Hip hop genre.

At the coca cola green stage, which was also free had performances from Bkay and Kazz, Vabati Vajehova and Mcintoshi Jerahuni. Bkay and Kazz performed the shows at the same stage. The audience fell in love with their single 'Amina kadeya'. Bkay and Kazz are brothers born in Malawi and bred in Masvingo, Zimbabwe. the two brothers are on tour in Zimbabwe which is expected to end on the 12th of this month.
