Freeman and the Mysterious Sultry Vixen sets high bar in Zuva

Over the years Freeman has been prolific, churning out hits with each project released, his mastery of catchy melodies has placed him above most of his industry peers.

 

The doctor is back with a masterpiece creation of a video of the song Zuva, directed by Vusa Blaqs, Zuva weaves together three tales of human connection into one beautifully-lit cinematic narrative.

The three being beauty, Love and Loss.

Even if you don’t care for the actual song, the music video is a visual feast, the tattooed vixen will keep you glued for the longest time.

The lady is sultry, sexy, and downright hot with her blonde hair, smile and her thick frame make her a camera magnet.

Hearts will race, jaws will drop and men will die. Its a sight for sore eyes as she changes from shiny sequin embellished dress to a pink two-piece swimwear

What’s interesting about this video is that it only features two people, Freeman and the vixen, but there’s something which makes it enjoyable;

The chemistry between the couple is intense, the hotel front view of the two on a quad bike is #RelationshipGoals.

The video has a sad ending though, as Freeman receives a call presumably form a ‘side-chick’ and his woman, without much thought walks out of the relationship.

Sad in that throughout the song, its happy lyrics as Freeman sings pleasantries to his woman, promising her the Sun and all its glory.

First Ever Black Miss Universe Great Britain ‘Won Crown With Dreads’

Miss Universe Great Britain has crowned its first black winner since the pageant began in 1952.

Dee-Ann Rogers made history when she received the accolade on Saturday; she will go on to represent the UK at the International Miss Universe competition, once-owned by Donald Trump, which will take place in December in the Philippines.

The 25-year-old hails from Anguilla, a British territory in the Caribbean, and competed against 40 women from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and British overseas territories to win the prestigious title.

“The adrenaline from winning hasn’t died down yet,” Rogers tells The Independent.

On being the first black woman to win the pageant, she added that it “hasn’t properly hit” her yet and she suspects it won’t until she returns home to Anguilla.

“I am extremely proud of myself for this achievement,” she continues, “especially in this post-Brexit and Windrush period.”

In addition to studying to be a barrister, she finished her final bar exam at the University of Birmingham in June, Rogers is also a competitive heptathlete and has competed at the Commonwealth Games on two occasions.

However, she was forced to cease her athletic training after sustaining a knee injury.

While beauty pageants are frequently criticised for their lack of diversity, Rogers believes her win reflects a long-awaited change in the industry.

“I absolutely believe that diversity is increasing in pageantry and there are many examples around the world,” she says.

“Beauty standards are changing and it is an exciting time for all women of all backgrounds.”

It’s a musical affair at Theatre in The Park

After hosting the hilarious Robert Mugabe coup play, “Operation Restore Legacy” for three sold-out weeks, earlier in the year the momentum gained has not been matched by any other theatre.

 

Recently, the venue hosted the riveting Gukurahundi production, “1983, The Dark Years” and again audiences were wowed.

Now as we say goodbye to winter and embrace summer, Theatre in the Park presents yet another dazzling production, a musical all the way from Bulawayo, “Blood Tongue”.

The stirring play produced by Nhimbe Trust in November 2017 with performances at Bulawayo Theatre, Charles Austin Theatre (Masvingo) and the Artists Preserving Heritage Festival at Emalahleni Civic Theatre, Mpumalanga, South Africa.

The Musical, as originally produced, explored leadership accountability, the manipulative excesses of the political elite, and the struggles faced by strong-willed women in present day Zimbabwe.

Blood Tongue – The Musical is coming to Theatre in The Park refreshingly breathtaking. The 2018 edition reflects and strengthens the get out the vote message while the fourteen musical pieces that make up the score of the original musical have sufficient relevance and emotional strength to remain unchanged.

The refreshed Blood Tongue not only aims to encourage citizens to exercise their constitutional right to cast a vote for their candidate of choice;

But to exercise this right with a conscience, and, with a conscience to consider how they might hold their elected officials accountable in fulfilling their mandate to serve them.

Further, the musical aims to foster audience engagement and facilitate community dialogue on leadership and election processes thereby building capacity for independent critical thinking.

Blood Tongue – The Musical is a play by the award-winning Zimbabwean playwright and author, Christopher Mlalazi, directed by Bafana Dladla (SA) and Eunice Tava.

Music Composed by Bafana Dladla and Tshepo Pheko (SA), music arranged by Blessing Sitotombe, and scripted edited and produced by Josh Nyapimbi.

Musa Sibanda plays the lead role, and other members of the cast include Bulawayo actresses Lady Tshawe, Ria Moyo and Agnes Ncube; backed by a five-member band.

Cleo’s big Shot at Pop-Perfection

With a consistent torrent of new music flooding the wireless transmissions consistently, it takes an extraordinary impetus to rise above past secrecy.

 

Considering how unpredictable the musical landscape is in Zimbabwe, some blow up overnight while others have taken a more conventional way toward the spotlight.

But for Cleo, she is ready to rock and roll in the murky waters that have produced fewer female stars in the last decade or so.

Perhaps she is the one we were waiting for.

Gifted with both the look, voice and ability to strum the guitar, Cleo has dropped her ‘breakout’ single titled Handisiye.

In the song, she speaks to self, as someone who has had an early exposure to the music industry through the DreamStar competition.

It’s a motivational song to never give up, we have had a barrage of those but each one has a meaning and usually a personal one.

Handisiye was written by Trevor Dongo and Macdonald Macdee Chidavaenzi with the latter also on the production.

The only way you will comprehend the genuine worth of your ability is if you show up, she sings in the song.

Totangira ipapo is our favourite line from the song, as she again pumps in that positive energy into our souls.

In a nutshell, the song unmistakenly trademarked with that Trevor D and Macdee melody is about having an irrepressibly optimistic outlook on life.

Trevor Dongo plays a Tale of Happily Never After in new Video

We all have been there, some move on quicker than others while some get scars for life, whether you got dumped, did the dumping or just grew apart.

 

The raw emotion in Trevor Dongo’s voice is nothing but real, he sounds genuinely in pain, heartbroken and one seeking healing through his own words.

That makes him a genius, to be able to envelop all of the aches that come with a heartbreak and put it in a song and a great video.

Rega Zviende is plucked out of Trevor Dongo’s chart-topping album Beyond tells a story of love, hurt and betrayal.

In the video a conflicted and afflicted Trevor seats on the balcony of his mansion, in deep thought, curtain blowing from left to right as to signify the emptiness that would behold his heart.

He is later joined by his wife and later his friends, amongst them a Judas who would betray him and date his lover.

He harnesses all the feelings as he ruminates in his sadness but even in that state, Trevor acknowledges things that used to be meaningful in his relationship but decided to let it go.

We loved the video, we loved how Trevor aced the script…Watch it below

Zambia blocks Koffi Olomide, Will arrest Musician upon Arrival

Popular rhumba musician Koffi Olomide has been barred from entering Zambia because of the many criminal allegations against him in the southern African country, and France.

 

They include allegations of assaulting a photojournalist in Zambia during a previous tour.

He has also been accused of sexually assaulting his dancers, kidnapping them and employing them without valid permits in France.

The French embassy in Zambia had asked the local authorities to arrest Congolese rhumba star Koffi Olomide for various allegations.

Following the appeal, Zambian media quoted Religious Affairs minister Godfridah Sumaili saying the singer would be arrested upon arrival.

Olomide, a regular in Zambia, was due to hold two shows this month.

French ambassador Sylvain Berger said Olomide was facing a number of charges both in Zambia and France.

The rhumba maestro is wanted on suspicion of sexually assaulting dancers, kidnapping and employing them in France without a permit and facilitating their entry and illegal stay.

It is not the first time Olomide is finding himself in the eye of a storm in Zambia. He, in January 2013, assaulted a Zambian photojournalist and had to flee across the border to avoid arrest.

Congolese Singer Koffi Olomide

Koffi Olomide is due to perform in Zimbabwe on August 3 at the Harare International Conference Centre, with indications showing that the promoter Sound Blaze Productions would now have to go it alone, Koffi’s huge travelling cost has put them in quandary.

Mapao, as his fans fondly refer to him, was infamously deported from Kenya in July 2016 for kicking one of his dancers at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

The musician spent the night at police cells at the airport before being deported to Kinshasa where he was charged with the crime and jailed for three months, commuted down from 18 months on President Joseph Kabila’s intervention.

He was, however, released on bail after five days. Olomide apologised to Kenyans for his behaviour.

But even at home, the 62-year-old bad boy is never far from controversies. He was in August 2012 given a three-month suspended prison sentence for assaulting his producer.

The sentence followed his arrest after the fracas at a hotel in Kinshasa.

Earlier in 2001, security personnel in Kinshasa dragged Koffi out of his Mercedes Benz Compressor and frog-marched in public after he had defied being flagged do

We too Couldn’t recognise Pokello in a Wedding dress

The weather in Zimbabwe has been a little unfriendly, so as we were trying to figure out who had messed with our sun we got the shock of our lives — Pokello in a wedding dress.

 

It was an Instagram moment that dropped out jaws, made us gasp and got us to say, “Holy cow!

Not only did Pokello look absolutely gorgeous, she looked totally unrecongisable in those wedding dress pictures she posted.

We are used to Pokello in short hair, but there she was in long hair, ice-white gown with an infectious bridal smile.

She captioned the below picture ‘Not only will I wear White, I’m wearing a veil that will cover my Face too, with Red lipstick.’

Although there were one or two of her fans who got confused and actualy thought the queen of swagger had tied the knot — again..many were quick to recongise it as an advert.

One comment had us in stitches though @thechichi_obi wrote ‘Cardi b twin sister!’

Check out the fabulous shoot

Breastfeeding Model causes stir on Catwalk!!

A Sports Illustrated model caused a stir as she strutted down the runway at their latest fashion show – while breastfeeding her baby.

 

Stunning Mara Martin turned heads for many reasons as she hit the catwalk in Miami on Monday, along with five-month-old daughter Aria.

The mum was dressed in a revealing gold bikini that was strategically lowered on the right side, allowing Aria to feed.

The tiny baby sported a special pair of noise cancelling headphones for her modelling debut, to avoid her being startled by the cheers of support from the crowd.

Newcomer Mara was picked to appear in the show after winning over the magazine bosses at an open casting call.

And thanks to her head-turning stunt, Mara stole the show with onlookers cheering in support and clambering to take pictures.

But later when a clip from the show was shared to the Sports Illustrated Instagram page, it became clear social media users were greatly divided – with some slamming it as a ‘pathetic stunt.’

Proud mum Mara beamed with delight as she carried her daughter in her arms Picture/Backgrid

What this means is nothing is sacred anymore…NOTHING!” fired one.

“I’m not against breastfeeding but she shouldn’t do it on a runway,” commented another.

“Not the time or place for that. Should be private, not everything belongs on social media,” added a third.

However, many followers stuck up for Mara.

“Wow so cute❤️ she looks freakin amazing for just having a baby!” praised one.

While another reasoned: “Time= when baby is hungry. Place = wherever baby & mama are.”
