Kelly Rusike I woke up this morning to the news of your passing. I&#8217;m still trying to digest this all. You were not only a good friend but you were the first to convince me to do my first TV advert through your production company for Karinga
This is a really sad time for me. I knew what you were fighting (diabetes) but I also relaxed because I knew you were managing it.
My deepest condolences to your children Courtney and Cole, grandson, your life partner, Yolanda and the Rusike Brothers and your fans.
Go well, may your dear soul rest in eternal peace.

Kelly Rusike was a legendary Zimbabwean jazz bassist who was part of the Rusike Brothers, a family band formed in 1978 in Lusaka, Zambia.
The Rusikes moved from Zimbabwe to Zambia in 1965 during the liberation struggle. Their father, Abiathar Rusike, was a teacher, journalist, and musician who coached his five sons to become music superstars.
The siblings were Tawanda, Abbie, Kelly, Philip, and Colin. Influenced by the Jackson Five and other Black American pop acts of the 1970s, they returned to Zimbabwe in 1980 after independence and became popular with many audio commercials, jingles, and hit songs, including the timeless Cecilia, Bp Yangu Yakwira, and Ngwerewere sadza advert.

Zimbabwean rapper <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Holy_Ten/">Mukudzei &#8216;Holy Ten&#8217; Chitsama</a> has been confirmed as the father of the child he shares with model Chelsea Tariro Hlomayi through a DNA test, revealing a 99.9% probability of paternity.
However, Holy Ten has refused to pay Hlomayi&#8217;s demand of US$350 for child support, offering US$150 instead citing his inconsistent income and family responsibilities.
Hlomayi has threatened legal action to compel him to contribute more.
Holy Ten is currently on an international tour.
The news that Holy Ten has a son with Hlomayi came out in March when the rapper and Kimberly Richards officially announced their <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/03/20/holy-ten-marries-kimberly-richards/">marriage</a>. 
Unverified reports claim that Holy Ten paid US$15,000 as the bride price for his fiancée in Bulawayo. There have also been rumours that Kimberly is expecting their first child.

Zimbabwean artiste Winky D has won the Best African Dancehall Entertainer award at the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) held at the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, Jamaica.
IRAWMA, which was running under the theme “Reggae Rise”, recognised dancehall music and its contribution to the evolution of Jamaican music over the last fifty years.
The 40th IRAWMA edition held in the North American country received 135 nominees vying for honours in 32 categories.
Winky D, born Wallace Chirumiko, was crowned the Best African Dancehall artiste despite competing against the likes of Patoranking, Star Zee, and Shatta Wale. <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/winky-d-scoops-best-african-dancehall-entertainer-award/">He said:</a>
<blockquote>
This award was particularly poignant as it had been presented to us during a period of intense challenges and diversity.
</blockquote>
In January this year, Winky D won the Best Male Artiste in Southern Africa prize at the prestigious All Africa Music Awards (AFRIMA) held in Senegal.
He scooped the prize for his hit track “Happy Again”.
In recent times, the Mabvuku-bred musician has suffered forms of persecution in Zimbabwe for his songs viewed as unfriendly to the ruling elite.
He recently told his fans that he has been banned from performing his new song “Ibotso” in which he seemingly condemns the greedy ruling elite feasting at the expense of the poor majority.

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi/">Mai Titi</a> real name <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mai_Titi/">Felistas Murata Edwards</a>, will present her defence in response to allegations that she fraudulently borrowed US$10 000 using hired and stolen vehicles and an invalid passport as collateral.
The prosecution established a case against her, and the court dismissed her application for discharge.
Mai Titi, a Zimbabwean comedian, musician, entrepreneur and MC, allegedly promised to repay the loan by November 2020 after offering a Mercedes Benz vehicle as surety, despite knowing that the car was hired.
After some days, Mai Titi allegedly returned to the lender, Rachel Mhuka and demanded back the car saying it did not belong to her. She rather offered her an Audi Q5 (AFG3701) and an expired passport as surety.
Sometime in January this year, Mhuka was then approached by police from ZRP Rhodesville, who then seized the Audi Q5 saying it belonged to Else Event Car Hire.
Irked by Murata’s actions, Mhuka then lodged a complaint with the police leading to Mai Titi&#8217;s arrest.
The defence hearing is set for May 24th.
Mai Titi also faces a separate charge of failing to make payments for an Audi she hired from Else Car Rental. Mai Titi entered into an agreement with Else Car Rental to hire the Audi Q5, but she failed to make weekly payments. The car was recovered from the lender&#8217;s residence, where Mai Titi had surrendered it as collateral.

Pictures: Mudiwa Hood Relocates Paradzai Mesi To A New Home

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Winky_D">Winky D</a>, a multi-award-winning Zimdancehall singer, told his fans on Sunday that he was warned not to perform his song &#8220;<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2023/01/02/eureka-zimbabwe-is-a-crime-scene-brezh-malabas-analysis-of-winky-ds-ibotsho/">Ibotso</a>&#8221; from his politically-charged album &#8220;Eureka Eureka.&#8221; The song discusses corruption and suffering in Zimbabwe, which has caused discomfort and controversy among government circles.
Winky D, whose real name is <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Winky_D">Wallace Chirumiko</a>, made this revelation during his performance at the Fill UP Queens Sports Club, Byo Shut Down concert in Bulawayo.
This was his first public appearance in a month since his performance was cut short by police during a show at Damview Chikwanha Blue Rest Grill and Bat in Chitungwiza. He shouted in the midst of his performance:
<blockquote>
Let me talk, I have been cautioned, I have been warned and they said if you sing that particular song there is going to be disaster; so, I do not want disaster here.
I want people to have fun, I want people to party, I want to see every gaffer in full enjoyment, every gaffer who is here to party. Can I see a signal early Sunday morning, I want every gaffer in the place, Maninja.
They want to arrest the music, they must leave the music to flow like the water in the river, they don’t have to control my playlist, I have to play what I want, I have to play what you want.
</blockquote>
Winky D performed his old hit song &#8220;Gafa Party&#8221; at the concert, which includes the lyrics &#8220;Handiite Politics But Handibude MuParty Ini: I don&#8217;t do politics, but I will never leave the party.&#8220;
After the show, he thanked his fans for their support in a post on his Facebook page.
Winky D&#8217;s album &#8220;Eureka Eureka,&#8221; which addresses social injustice, economic struggles, and government corruption in Zimbabwe, has caused friction between him and the authorities. Since its release, he has faced online harassment from supporters of the ruling Zanu PF party. Some ZANU PF-affiliated groups have even called for a ban on Winky D&#8217;s music, alleging that it causes &#8220;alarm and despondency&#8221; among the youth. Despite this, Winky D has continued to speak out against social issues in his music. He recently won the International Reggae &amp; World Music Awards for Best African Dancehall Entertainer for the second time.

Winky D Warned Not To Perform His Song Ibotso

Businessman and socialite <a href="https://wiki.pindula.co.zw/Mudiwa_Hood">Mudiwa Hood</a>, whose real name is Mudiwa Mtandwa, says he is looking for a decent place to relocate musician <a href="https://wiki.pindula.co.zw/Paradzai_Mesi">Paradzai Mesi</a> who has fallen on hard times.
Mesi was arrested last week for allegedly breaking into and store and stealing groceries with unknown accomplices.
His manager, Andy Jusa, however, denied the allegations, saying Mesi, who was in a drunken stupor on the night of 20 April, was tricked into getting into the shop on the pretext that he had arrived home by three men who left him sleeping after stealing groceries.
Hood, who recently bought groceries and clothes for Mesi, has pleaded with fellow Zimbabweans to assist Mesi. In a post on social media, Hood wrote:
<blockquote>
Dear Zimbabweans
May I Kindly ask all those willing to further assist Mukoma Paradzai Mesi may you kindly do so through his Manager Mr Andy Jusa.
We are in the process of finding Mr Paradzai Messi a decent place to stay, as we strongly believe relocating him and changing the environment that he is in now, will bring the desired change in his life…
We also appreciate efforts from respected people like Sekuru Banda, tinogamuchira rubatsirro rwenyu kuna Para…
We have also identified a few doctors(psychologists), and life coaches that are also going to assist him.
Through his manager, we are also going to make sure all proceeds from all bookings and shows are put to good use.
The biggest challenge on relocation is the welfare of the kids who are going to school…
Music-wise Mr Mesi will continue writing and recording, and possibly release songs in a few months to come.
Many thanks to everyone who will help, whether in cash or Kind, as well as retweeting and sharing this.
All the money donated through these platforms will be accounted for by his Manager Mr Jusa

Mudiwa Wood Pledges To Find A "Decent" Place For Paradzai Mesi

The CEO of NASH Paints, <a href="https://wiki.pindula.co.zw/Tinashe_Mutarisi">Tinashe Mutarisi</a>, apologised for a photo posted on Facebook by his classmate Jossy Mutongi. The photo in which Jossy is leaning on Mutarisi has a caption which reads “My desk mate my besty my classmate it’s sad because of levels we can’t play together the way we want anyhow anytime I love you ikoko kwauri happy birthday…” 
The photo has sparked controversy on social media. Some people believe that the pair may have had a romantic relationship, while others think that Jossy posted the picture for attention. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Mutarisi said:
<blockquote>
Hi Good Pple
Allow me to apologize for a picture that one of my former friends posted on Facebook a day after my birthday.
Since 1996 I have only seen that person (Jossy) once ( that day that we took those pictures) and that was after she called me asking for a meeting because she had fallen on hard times and she desperately needed my help. I invited her to come see me and unfortunately I couldn’t help her with much kunze kwe mari and jusg posting on my facebook post asking my followers to also assist her.
She asked for a picture and ini mozviziva kuti I’m always ready so I agreed as I was also delighted to see and take a pictures with my former classmate. During the process of taking pics she suddenly moved and leaned on me, I explained to her respectfully that I do not take those kind of pictures and she apologized and we went our separate ways. That was the last time that I spoke to her in person and after that we exchanged ma messages on app achinditenda kuti my followers were actually helping her small business grow and please if you can continue to assist her.

Just like all of you ndakatoshamiswawo ne post yaakaisa iya. I did not expect her to write such to me because I have never communicated to her is such foul language. Pekutanga I actually thought she was just doing this to deliberately just to use my name for clout and push her saloon business but ndikazofunga kuti it’s bad kufungira munhu zvakaipa usina chokwadi nazvo. These days mental health is a challenge to a lot of pple so it’s advisable to tread with caution on issues like these. What I know for a fact is she likes me and she was one of my top fans always posting nice things about me. I honestly do not believe she would intentionally do something to harm my reputation.
I am deeply sorry for any embarrassment or shame that post may have caused to you my friends and colleagues but haa family yangu yekumba hayo haiwa vajaira dzaa nhinhi. I hope that this explanation clears up any misunderstandings and I do not promise to be more careful in the future about the people I associate with and the pictures I take because unfortunately ndoozvandakapikira zvekusasarudza kana kudadira munhu, semunhu akarerwa ne community.
</blockquote>
Mutarisi said he had to block Jossy on social media, but he will still communicate with her cautiously through WhatsApp. He also stated that he still considers Jossy his friend and that her apology was sufficient. 
Mutarisi added “Sleep well” and explained that he was considering ignoring the situation, but a friend advised him to address it.

Tinashe Mutarisi Apologises For A Photo With A Classmate

Alfred Andy, the manager of <a href="https://wiki.pindula.co.zw/Paradzai_Mesi">Paradzai Mesi</a>, a Zimbabwean sungura musician, narrated in an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/paradzai-mesi-did-not-steal-anything-manager/">The Herald Arts</a> and Entertainment how Mesi was recently arrested for allegedly stealing groceries from a store in Concession.
According to Andy, Mesi did not steal anything and was actually heavily intoxicated to the point where he could barely walk. Mesi has accepted that false information can be spread about celebrities and that they can be trolled. Alfred Andy narrated:
<blockquote>
We were shocked with what is circulating on social media.
The story emanated on April 20 when Paradzai went on his usual drinking spree at a farm called Hermistone.
It was now late and he decided to go home. He met three guys who then lied to him that they wanted to take him home. They arrived at the complainant’s shop and misled him that they had arrived at his residence.
In that drunken stupor, the musician slept on the floor in the shop. He then woke up in the morning and noticed that he was at a shop and there were now a lot of people surrounding him. He was arrested.
</blockquote>
Andy said Mesi was left in the shop sleeping, while the three had already looted the shop.
He was then arrested by members of the neighbourhood watch, but later the charges were withdrawn by the owner of the shop who noticed that he was innocent. Added Andy:
<blockquote>
We later discussed the matter with the owner of the shop who later withdrew the charges. He went to Concession, Glendale police station, who then advised both parties to go back and talk it out and return  the following day.
So far, the stolen groceries have not been recovered. Paradzai could not resist to be taken home by the alleged suspects because he is a man of the people and everyone loves him, so he thought they were fans taking him home. Little did he know they ended up in a shop.
</blockquote>
After news broke out on social media that the musician had been arrested, socialites and celebrities offered to help him with groceries. Businessman Mudiwa Hood <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/chinono-supports-mudiwa-in-paradzai-mesi-saga/">gifted Mesi with a new suit</a> from his brand MH Luxury Suits and bought him groceries.

Manager Narrates How Paradzai Mesi Was Arrested

Tinashe Chikuse has written a heartfelt letter to his fans as he bids farewell to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Broadcasting_Corporation">Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC)</a> after 2 decades of service. He said he resigned from his duties at the ZBC, effective the 3rd of April, 2023.
He said writing the letter gave him emotional and painful feelings, which made him cry. Tinashe stated that his letter took time to write, indicating that he was hesitant or struggling to express his emotions. Pindula News reproduces his letter below:
<blockquote>
Writing this has made me to cry felt emotional and in pain …I will always love you all! My letter took time to be at but I say I don’t want to go ahead of God but to follow his plans…
I shall call this letter: THE END
Dear Tinashe Chikuse Fans!
I been meaning to write to you for a long time but getting myself to do so has been one of the most trying and lengthiest decisions of my life. It’s not that couldn’t but I find myself in an awkward position, I would have preferred to talk rather than write but I find myself distanced from the microphone and worlds apart from my legions of radio fans, I guess for now all I can do is write.
Well, for those that might have been wondering, its indeed true, it’s not a sabbatical but sadly it’s the end. Primarily, this letter serves to notify my fans that I resigned from my duties at the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC), effective the 3rd of April, 2023. It marks an end to a devoted and ardent 20 years of service. I must confess its shattering but I guess when one door shuts another opens or should I say, when one microphones switches off…another might just switch on. I never imagined the end because something in me so believed that our journey would last till eternity but I guess the myth is true after all, ‘people indeed meet to part ‘and in the same measure it’s my impassioned supplication that just as the myth goes, as we now part, hopefully we meet again. I find myself lost in thoughts, recollecting on past experiences. I must put it on record that I am forever grateful for the chance that I was accorded by the national broadcaster, ZBC. They took a chance with a young me and that was to be the beginning of a journey that we celebrate today as the brand Tinashe Chikuse.
In Journalism, I found a worthy religion and in radio, I found my first love and I have been blessed to do what I love day in day out. My journey in the craft started at the Sunday Mail as a reporter then I joined the ZBC as a production assistant in the current affairs department in 2003. In the discharge of my duties, I was privileged to work on the stations flagship shows like the Media Watch, Talking Farming, Toringepi and Face the Nation to mention but a few. Along the way, I have met many men and women that have had a huge impact on my life. I cannot name them all but I salute you all for being part of my story. My journey in radio ‘literally started in the morning’ at SFM (now Classic 263) as the host on the breakfast show in 2005, an experience that I will forever cherish. I vividly remember researching on the riddles that quickly became a fans favourite before I was moved to Power FM. It is at SFM that I bagged my first accolade after winning the NJAMA Best RadioDJ of the year in 2006.
It’s a fact, radio changed my life. It took me from being a dreamer to being a brand. My journey has been filled with a million thrills, I managed to experience the warmth and hospitality of Cairo, Egypt in 2016, all thanks to radio. I will never forget the many trips, calls, interviews and activations at both SFM and Power FM. Today I stand proud that one day, even after the feared justice of death, my name will be written amongst the notable broadcasters of this land. I have had many highlights on radio, too many to mention but I hold one so dearly, I will never forget calling the President of Zimbabwe, His Excellence President Emmerson Mnangagwa live on air the first in the history of radio just to wish him happy birthday in 2021, I still wonder how we pulled it off. I will also never forget how viral the Champions League Breakfast show hosted by me and my brother Pathisani Sibanda went in short space of time but little did I knew; it was the beginning of the END. The more I reflect on these memories, the more my heart sinks, I shiver and wonder what life will be without radio and all my fans, indeed a huge part of me is gone. Life might never be the same again!
To the ZBC staff and management over the years, I struggle to find words that can express how appreciative I am, your gamble turned a fresh from college journalism enthusiast into a seasoned scribe and broadcaster. Without ZBC, there was never going to be Tinashe Chikuse, all I can say is I SALUTE YOU.
To the many friends I have made along my journey, friends from the media fraternity, Chitungwiza, Raylton Sports Club, Hustlers 11 Football club, my classmates at the Zimbabwe Open University and many more, the list is endless… I THANK YOU!
To all my fans, this is to me is the unthinkable, I never imagined waving you goodbye and announcing an end to love story that I would rather not end. Kenny Rodgers sings in the song Goodbye.
‘…I wanted you for life, you and me in the wind
I never thought there’d come a time that our story would end
It’s hard to understand but I guess I’ll have to try
.. For all the joy we share, all that time we had to spend
Now if I had one wish, I’d want forever back again
It’s not easy to say goodbye…!’.
Indeed, It’s sad to say goodbye, I truly hope we meet again if God permits. My story is incomplete without all my fans, you are special and I wish you all the best. I struggle to describe my gratitude. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
To my family, my mother, my lovely daughter TJ, brothers, sisters and the Chikuse Royal family at large. Thank you for the support. In you I have a strong grounding, I can always count on you in good and bad time.
THANK YOU FOR YOU LOVE, CARE AND SUPPORT!
As I ponder my next move and in the midst of pain, I’m reassured by the lyrics in my famous signature track, that is Marshal Munhumumwe’s Ndibvumbamireiwo.
To me it’s not just a song, it’s a prayer, a cry to the creator to be with me always……
Dear Lord, Ndibvumbamireiwo!
In all this I see light at the end of the tunnel, I see another opportunity maybe another microphone …I am confident we will have another dance All in God’s time.
A GOOD GUEST KNOWS WHEN TO LEAVE
MAY THE PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS!
GOODBYE, I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE.
Yours truly
Tinashe Chikuse

Tinashe Chikuse Writes Heartfelt Letter As He Bids Farewell To ZBC

Award-winning Zimbabwean journalist, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hopewell_Chin'ono">Hopewell Chin’ono</a>, has said <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mudiwa_Hood">Mudiwa Hood</a> did not do anything wrong by recording himself while donating clothes and groceries to sungura musician, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Paradzai_Mesi">Paradzai Mesi.</a>
Mesi who leads the Njerama Boys had been arrested for allegedly stealing groceries, and Mudiwa gave him a new suit and groceries while recording the act.
Some people on social media think that Mudiwa Hood wasn’t compassionate and was humiliating Paradzai Mesi. However, Chin’ono believes that Mudiwa is actually helping to restore Mesi’s dignity by doing the donation publicly on the same platform where he was shamed before. He said:
<blockquote>
There are many things that I disagree with Mudiwa Hood but this is not one of them.
He helped a man who was humiliated on camera, what is wrong with retaining his dignity on camera on the same platforms which exposed the man in chains.
Mudiwa is running a business, he helped a fellow artist, this help will also make others want to buy his products. Big companies do it, why not Mudiwa?
My only issue with Mudiwa is that he supports a regime that has brought this economic humiliation to millions of Zimbabweans.
Helping this man is noble, but we can’t live from handouts, what happens to those who were not filmed?
So let us look at the broader picture, the issue of Mudiwa assisting this man and posting the pictures is a narrow issue, the real issue is why we got here where a musician ends up stealing to survive.
</blockquote>
Mudiwa, formerly Mudiwa Mtandwa, is a Zimbabwean gospel Hip Hop artist who rose to fame with his hit songs such as “Ndaita Mari” and “Anhu Acho Tisu“. 
He also works in the office of Uebert Angel, the Presidential Envoy and Ambassador at Large to Europe and the Americas (OPEAAL).
<h2>Paradzai Mesi’s Response </h2>
Mesi’s manager Alfred Andy told The Herald Arts and Entertainment that on April 20th, Paradzai went drinking at a farm called Hermistone. Later that night, he met three men who pretended they would take him home. However, they actually took him to a shop and falsely claimed it was his residence. Paradzai, who was drunk, slept on the shop floor. When he woke up in the morning, he realized he was at a shop surrounded by many people and was subsequently arrested.

Multi-award-winning model Hillary Makaya has refused to delete “nude” pictures on her social media pages despite claiming she is now a born-again Christian, <a href="https://www.thestandard.co.zw/standard-style/article/200010225/born-again-hillary-makaya-refuses-to-get-rid-of-nude-pictures">The Standard</a>.
In Christianity, born again is a phrase used to describe the phenomenon of gaining faith in Jesus Christ.
In one of her recent posts on Instagram, Makaya poses for pictures in a light room depicting a “spiritual” Makaya with a Bible verse quote. The verse is Psalm 27:7 which says:
<blockquote>
The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear?
</blockquote>
One of Makaya’s followers asked her to delete her previous images that show her in semi-nude. The follower commented:
<blockquote>
If you are really a born-again Christian, remove all those nude pictures of you on your social media. 2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; the old has gone, the new is here.
</blockquote>
In response, Makaya made fun of the follower and said the pictures should be a testimony to her newly found faith. She wrote:
<blockquote>
Nude pictures? Get your terms right and I will not remove my old pictures.
Whoever goes through my page needs to feel the transformation.
</blockquote>
I believe I am an inspiration to many right now and my transformation will win souls for the kingdom of God.
<blockquote>
Leave my self-explanatory testimony as it is.
</blockquote>
Hillary Makaya once dated Robert Mugabe Junior and in 2019, the couple went on a vacation in Singapore.
Recent media reports claimed self-styled prophet Passion Java impregnated Hillary’s sibling Yolanda whilst he was dating Hillary.

Zimdancehall artiste <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Guspy_Warrior">Guspy Warrior</a>, whose real name is Emmanuel Manyeruke, has released a six-track EP titled “Gold Mafia” following the release of a four-part investigative series by Al Jazeera with a similar title.
The EP was produced at Mafia Music and Genius Records and has six tracks: Number 1 Chibaba, Mi Nu Lie, Gold Mafia, Baba Muri Loss, Ndinotenda and Shungu.
In a post on Twitter on Saturday, Al Jazeera Investigations Unit said Guspy Warrior’s music showed that its documentary has been impactful. It said:
<blockquote>
The I-Unit’s latest exposé is producing impact. Guspy Warrior, a Zimbabwean reggae artiste has produced this dancehall EP titled #GoldMafia.
</blockquote>
The Gold Mafia documentary revealed a series of gold smuggling gangs in Southern Africa that help criminals launder hundreds of millions of dollars.
The criminals get rich while plundering their nations and keeping millions in poverty.
The gangs use gold to turn dirty cash into clean, seemingly legitimate money for those with large amounts of unaccounted wealth.
They do so by using a complex web of companies, counterfeit identities and fake documents.
The documentary also exposes the involvement of high-ranking officials from Zimbabwe in smuggling and money laundering to circumvent the sanctions imposed on the country.

The organiser of South African musician Makhadzi’s show, Partson “Chipaz” Chimbodza, has apologised to fans and the artiste after her show in Mutare on Friday ended prematurely due to violence.
In a statement, Chipaz said the fracas was caused by fans from the Mbombera section who encroached into the VIP section resulting in cans being thrown around.
Makhadzi escaped unscathed and Chillspot intervened to calm the situation. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
Good evening Zimbabwe we would like to put the record straight as we hosted the recent Makhadzi Show in Mutare.
First of all, we would like to apologise to the affected fans secondly we apologise to the artists mainly Makhadzi who was caught in this mishap.
Makhadzi was billed to perform at exactly 12 midnight as planned and she was indeed on time.
Just before she went on stage whilst Chillspot were performing, some rowdy fans forced open the barricades that demarcated Mbombera and VIP section and Chillspot had to calm them down.
As Makhadzi went on stage Standard Ticket-holding fans wanted to get a close view of their favourite artists and they forced their way closer to the stage thereby encroaching VIP section a scenario that did go well with VIP fans and that’s when pushing and shoving started which resulted in standard Ticket fans throwing cans towards Vip section and those in the VIP retaliated throwing cans back.
So cans being thrown toward the VIP section some would go towards the stage and this disrupted Makhadzi’s act and it ended her much-liked performance.
We managed to let her escape and we brought in Chillspot to calm the situation down. The show then ended at 4.30 am.
So cans were never about the artists but an exchange of cans between VIP fans and the Standard Ticket fans.
Once again we apologise to Makhadzi and hope we will work with her again in the near future.

It is with great sadness that we announce the imminent closure of Wish on Florida effective 10th April 2023 – where we will be hosting The Last Supper.

We would like to thank the city of Durban for the tremendous support in the last three years. Catering for you and the rest of the country has been an absolute joy and your support will forever be grateful.
To our staff members who are the fabric that held Wish On Florida together – this was not an easy decision. Our efforts to keep our doors open to ensure the security of our employment that has been difficult, and unfortunately, the above-mentioned has led to an untimely farewell.

Restaurant Where AKA Was Shot Closing

Eighteen-year-old model Makanaka “Melladiorr” Melissa said she is dedicated to transforming the profession to ensure that the rampant sexual harassment that models can face comes to an end.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/model-fights-against-sexual-harassment/">H-Metro</a>, the Upper Sixth student said there is a need to change the negative perception towards women. She said:
<blockquote>
I am inspired by the need to change the community and industry as a whole.
I want to advocate for the girl child through the professionalism of art and I will use it to show how women hold the same power as men and, hopefully, this would eradicate some of these societal ills.
The industry at times can be a very unsafe place for the girl child because, rather than being viewed as creatives, we are often manipulated.
We are manipulated into thinking that being in intimate relationships with the sponsors will increase our popularity and make it possible to earn certain amounts but I am a firm believer in morals, self-respect and hard work to achieve success.
</blockquote>
She said she wants to work together with other models to find ways to eradicate girl child abuse in the industry and outside the industry too. Said Melladiorr:
<blockquote>
Girls deserve the same freedom just as the boy child does without returning any sexual favours.
</blockquote>
Makanaka Melissa acquired her training from 106 Models. She has worked with EatnLick, ZIMA Awards, Model Guide, and as a brand ambassador for Footwear Plaza and as a video vixen for music videos. She said:
<blockquote>
As a person, you should be disciplined. I do things on time and I work with a schedule.
I have time for school work and I have time for my profession but always put school first.
All aspiring models should dare to be different and not lose their moral values for fame.

Teen Model Vows To Fight Sexual Harassment

Zimbabwean rapper <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Holy_Ten">Holy Ten</a>, whose real name Mukudzei Chitsama, and Kimberly Richards have officially announced they are now husband and wife.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Holy Ten paid US$15 000 as the bride price for his fiancée in Bulawayo.
It has also been rumoured that Kimberly is pregnant and expecting the couple’s first child.
Social media personality <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Night_Shadaya_Tawona">Tawona Knight Shadaya</a> has warned the rapper that the marriage will not last more than five years.
Shadaya referred to Kimberly as an “it girl” (IT) a phrase <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/it-girl#:~:text=also%20It%20girl,%5Binformal%2C%20journalism%5D">used to describe</a> a young woman who is well-known because she goes to the most fashionable places and events and knows famous people. Wrote Shadaya:
<blockquote>
Marrying an “IT” girl never ends well As MacG said no one in their right mind marries “IT” girls When you marry an “IT” girl, it’s NOT: “Till d€ath do us apart” BUT: “Till money or fame runs out” 5yrs max age, of such marriages Don’t try to turn a ho3 into a housewife.
As a man, if you don’t yet understand that a w0man’s value is in her past &amp; that marrying a refurbished ho3, when you’ve achieved some level of financial success or fame, then you’ve earned your right to be fxcked, cause you will be. Only a matter of WHEN not IF. Learn or perish!
You lot come here &amp; accuse me of being a h8ter, when you don’t even have the facts. Here are the facts: -she is a single mom. Yes she is, why try to succeed were another man failed. The baby daddy will always be in the picture. And your 1st child is her 2nd child.
</blockquote>
Shadaya also claimed that Kimberly was married against cultural norms as the marriage ceremony was allegedly conducted at her maternal uncle’s place. He said:
<blockquote>
Her own mother is also a single mom. Don’t you see a pattern here. How can sh€ make a good wife when sh€ never saw her own mother being one -she got married at her sekuru’s place (hanzvadzi ya mai, excluding her paternal relatives) That’s a taboo in African culture
So let’s be honest, if any of you would be okay, be it a relative or friend, to marry such a woman &amp; into such a family? We all know the answer to that, so yes I’m cool being called a h8ter speaking facts. Learn OR perish!!!

Culture Fund Of Zimbabwe Trust, EU Avail US$2 Million For Artistes

Lance Reddick, an actor known for roles in The Wire and the John Wick franchise, has died at the age of 60.
His representative confirmed that <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64959805">he died</a> of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. 
The American actor had been recently doing interviews for his role in John Wick: Chapter 4, released next week. 
Earlier this week, he chose not to attend the film’s New York premiere.
Reddick’s best-known role was playing Baltimore police lieutenant Cedric Daniels in HBO’s hit crime drama The Wire. 
He had originally auditioned for the roles of Bubbles and Bunk Moreland. 
Reddick’s TV roles also included Oz, Lost, and Bosch and a lead role in the sci-fi drama Fringe. 
Before his death, he also filmed the part of Zeus for the upcoming TV adaptation of Percy Jackson.
On the big screen, Reddick’s credits included White House Down, Sylvie’s Love, Brother to Brother and a role in the blockbusting John Wick franchise. As well as his posthumous performance in the fourth film, he is believed to have filmed a role for a spin-off, Ballerina, led by Ana de Armas. He will also be seen in the upcoming remake of White Men Can’t Jump.
The Wire creator David Simon released a statement to the Hollywood Reporter to express his grief. He wrote:
<blockquote>
A consummate professional, a devoted collaborator, a lovely soul and a friend. This is just gutting and way, way, way too soon for any of us who knew and loved him to contemplate.
</blockquote>
Wendell Pierce, Reddick’s co-star in the show paid tribute to him on Twitter. 
<blockquote>
A man of great strength and grace. As talented a musician as he was an actor. The epitome of class. A sudden unexpected sharp painful grief for our artistic family. An unimaginable suffering for his personal family and loved ones. Godspeed my friend. You made your mark here. RIP
</blockquote>
Another fellow cast member Isiah Whitlock Jr wrote: 
<blockquote>
Shocked and saddened by the news that Lance Reddick has passed away. Truly heartbreaking. R.I.P. My friend. You will be missed. Godspeed.

<blockquote>
Lance Reddick was an incredibly nice guy, and an incredibly talented actor. This is heartbreaking. My love goes out to all his family, friends and collaborators.
