The much-loved Zimbabwean king of sungura, Alick Macheso, who has travelled and performed in many parts of the world, will finally perform in Vhembe next Friday (11 October).

Macheso, who is an ambassador for the Red Cross and brand ambassador for one of Zimbabwe’s largest bakeries, Bakers Inn, will share the stage with one of the finest sons of the soil, reggae maestro Colbert Mukwevho.

The concert to be held at the 2010 Centre in Thohoyandou will see artists like Tshibulebule of Rithelela fame, Sido and Manana, among others, showcasing their stuff before the entertainment-starved people of Thohoyandou. The event will start at 16:00.

From Thohoyandou, the artists will move to Polokwane for a show the following day.

Macheso and Mukwevo have sold many records all over and the show is as the result of pressure from their fans who want to see them performing live. “Fans are craving to see Macheso in person. He has a large following in Limpopo and all over the world. On the other hand, Mukwevho is popular and has a large following wherever he goes.

"Security will be very tight and we have made sure that the many cars expected have good parking in the area next to the venue,” added Murerwa. Fans who buy their tickets early stand a chance to win prizes and to meet Colbert Mukwevho and Alec Macheso before the concert.

Tickets are available at the 2010 Centre, Computicket and Shoprite and Checkers. For more information about the concert, call 084 656 4652, 084 762 6972 or 072 382 3729.
