#WCW: Karen Paida talks Love Life, Career, Fashion & Diamonds

In October 2016 Karen Paida made history as she became a runner-up in the DStv TLC Next Great Presenter.

 

Before that, she was also a presenter with Nafuna TV and in just over two years she has become a household name in the broadcasting industry.

Her striking red carpet dresses, flashing smile in front of the camera and those sweet giggles she makes on Capitalk FM radio have made us to crush on her and make her our #WCE

In a nutshell who is Karen and how did your Broadcasting/Media career begin.

My career began 4 years ago when I started off at Dants Media publishers for Jewel Magazine.

I gained my interest for broadcast there and started off behind the camera. I got in front of the camera by accident as an experiment and when it worked I stuck with it.

Now I’ve also ventured into radio and I can’t get enough of the thrill of being on the mic.

How long have you been a radio presenter and how are you finding the job.

Karen Paida Mukwedeya

I’ve been in radio for a year and a half now. It’s the most satisfying job because you can be yourself.

Tell us something about your job, other than money, that you love the most and has inspired you to keep working there.

It’s the inspiration you get from different guests that you invite to the studio and the knowledge I get not only from my guests but even from the listeners.

I’ll tell you something, radio is the perfect place for you to find yourself.

The most treasured item in your closet is….

Hmm, jewellery. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Lol

When I’m at work I love wearing….

Heels. Now I don’t wear them often but I do wear them on important occasions like when I have a meeting or something.

It’s like they give you that extra boost of confidence. ( Even though they are sore sometimes )

I would never be caught dead wearing…

Those Nikki Minaj shades that look like a hat. I know it’s fashion but common

My guilty pleasure is…

Food. I love to eat

 

Is Karen single, dating, married…

A very single Karen..

Very single

 

Tell us something we don’t know about you

I’m actually very shy, I open up to people when they know me. I literally have to psych myself up every time before I get on camera or I speak in front of an audience

 

How does Karen relax when not working…your life’s passions other than your job

Well, I watch a lot of series and read as well.. I also like to go out and socialize with others.

So you can say I’ve got the best of both worlds here being both an introvert and an extrovert lol

Sekurutau gets a Presidential Facebeat as he eyes State House

Zimbabwe’s African Roots Music maestro and world-renowned sculptor-cum-businessman Bryn Mteki says he now looks presidential material after a makeover.

 

Just as many thought Mteki aka Sekurutau was not confident of winning the presidency, the man of song is proving to all and sundry that he isn’t backing off yet.

Unveiling his new look, Sekurutau took to Facebook saying he now sees himself as the next president.

“NEW LOOK after careful considerations on my new Job as the next Zimbabwean President I have been listening and paying attention to all Zimbabweans across the Globe.

“The issue is I have taken note of all your remarks my beloved fellow Zimbabweans . . . I finally started preparing (sic) for the inauguration Speech plus my artistic look with Blonde hair and earrings has to go (sic), and I started wearing nice suits.

Sekurutau

“Nice Shoes. Let’s do it I know we can do it VOTE BRYN TAURAI MTEKI for PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE for Better Life “Mission Restore Zimbabwe”.

He then posted a picture of his new look and captioned them “#PECHEDU Sekurutauvatongozvipengerawozvawo”

Sekurutau will go down in the history books as the first artist and sculptor to run for presidency.

He is among the 23 presidential hopefuls who successfully submitted their nomination papers at the Harare Magistrates’ courts.

In what has become a trend the world over where celebrities and top footballers run for the highest offices in their countries, Sekurutau hopes to ride on his wave of his popularity as a shrewd artist-cum-businessman.

Sekurutau made his intentions to run for president public early in April in his independence message.

“I thank you all. I hope Zimbabwe will go far as I also look forward to becoming the next President of the Republic Of Zimbabwe,” he posted on his Facebook page.

Sekurutau, however, urged musicians to desist from attacking politicians but instead advise them.

Apart from music and sculpture, Sekurutau is a businessman and founder of BrynBrands with interests in retail supermarkets, bottle stores, nightclubs, real estate, butcheries and takeaways.

He also operates a transport business, mining and a clothing line, among others. Sekurutau recently launched BrynBrands Mvura and DOVI peanut butter.

Zimbabwe Fashion Showcase to take place in London in September

UK based clothing tradeshow, Zimbabwe Fashion Showcase has announced the date for the highly anticipated fashion exhibition of the year.

 

The event, now in its third year, will be held on 29 September in London.

Running under the banner, Zimbabwe 2030 – a glimpse into the future, the event will feature several designers and over 60 different designs.

Founder of Zimbabwe Fashion Showcase Chiedza Ziyambe said she was thrilled to be back for another edition and that the ZFS platform was a great opportunity for rising designers to showcase their designs to buyers, the press and to the public.

This year the event will also feature other African designers who have been invited to showcase their work.

“We are now in our third year and our aim is to continue to promote upcoming designers and celebrate established designers from all over Africa as well,” Chiedza said.

“The emphasis or vision for Zimbabwe Fashion Showcase has always been about recognising and promoting the upcoming designer, giving them a platform to show the world their hard work, their talent and what to expect from them in the future,”

“This year the theme will focus on the future of fashion, particularly what Zimbabwe’s Fashion industry could look like in the next 10 years as seen through this year’s showcasers,” she added.

Ziyambe said that as Zimbabwe goes through a transition, now is the time to get involved and help revive the economy with innovative ideas.

She added that there was a gap for rising designers to contribute immensely to the growth of the industry in the country and encouraged them to be a part of it.

“We want to see what the showcaser’s vision of Zimbabwe looks like in the years to come, interpreted by varying fabrics and ornaments.

We want to be able to see elements that represent the future as bright, refined, and astounding – we want to see clothing that will represent ‘pastures new’.”

First held in 2015, the event highlights emerging African designers in the UK, mainly from Zimbabwe.

It also features a select number of guest designers from Africa and other parts of the world, as well as designers whose work is inspired by African themes.

Over the years, prominent public figures and designers such as New York-based Farai Simoyi and the Mayor of Birmingham have been in attendance.

The Zim hip-hop veteran rapper Mariachi born as David Chitate has found his lines back.

 

A month ago he released the video to Ngaanake a track which he complimented the beauty of a woman.

On this one, he collaborated his longtime music partners Alkamai and Simz 27.

Produced by Fun-F who delivered a hard-hitting baseline that will undoubtedly get you in the dabbing mood.

‘MaLevels’ encourages gentlemen who ‘love things’ to hustle for the best and upgrade their style.

The track touches on modern societies relationship issues, more so ones of affluence and station.

It playfully brushes on the subject less spoken of publicly but one that bears much weight in every relationship (What are you bringing to the table).

Mariachi is currently working on an album which is still work in progress.

MultiChoice brings the Russian Dream to St Joseph’s Home For Boys

They have no parents and no family. But the beautiful game of soccer gives them a warmth and a hope of one day becoming the big stars on the TV screens.

 

Football is a big part of the lads at the St Joseph’s Home For Boys and they got a chance to belong to the bigger family of the sport as they too are enjoying the delicacy of Russia.

Located in Belvedere, Harare the St Joseph’s House for Boys, which has a long and successful tradition of providing meaningful support and care for young men who might otherwise find themselves in very unpleasant situations.

Said Liz Dziva, publicity and public relations manager of MultiChoice Zimbabwe said they were glad to share the special moment with the young boys

“We at MultiChoice are pleased to present this screening today and we are especially pleased to be able to do so at the St Joseph’s Home For Boys, where we have been given a very warm welcome by the staff and the boys themselves,” she said.

“I hope everyone has an enjoyable afternoon and evening, as we watch the opening ceremony and the first match of the tournament.

“This coverage is of course presented on SuperSport, which gives DStv viewers direct access to all the best sport in the world, 24/7, 365 days a year,” she added.

The forerunner of the home came into being in 1936 as a result of efforts by an Anglican priest, the Reverend O W L Skey, with the first boys staying at his home.

The children were joined by members of the media and artists Picture/Tsitsi Bertha

In 1939 the first St Joseph’s House for Boys opened in what is now Nelson Mandela Avenue, and then the building was erected in 1953, so the home moved to Belvedere.

“MultiChoice Zimbabwe plays an important role in this country, not only representing MultiChoice Africa but also in helping serve the community,” said Liz Dziva.

“I hope that in this and coming years we will be able to support the efforts of the staff here in providing love and care and shelter to these wonderful young men, who are the citizens of tomorrow and some of whom may well be our leaders of tomorrow.”

MultiChoice has provided full Installation for the home to facilitate this broadcast and will also be donating the dish and decoder to the home and providing the home with a complimentary DStv subscription.

“We hope this pleases boys and staff and adds to the access they have to information, education and entertainment,” added Liz Dziva.

Sables disappoint in Africa Gold cup Opener

Sables disappoint in Africa Gold cup Opener

Zimbabwe rugby team affectionately known as the sables kicked off their 2018 Africa Gold cup with a disappointing 23 all Draw against Morroco at Harare Sports Club.

 

The host where unconvincing the bulk of the match.

The Sables were quick out of the blocks scoring two quick tries through debutant fullback Shingie Katsvere and where both converted by the mercurial boot of Lenience Tamberwa.

Katsvere rarely put a foot wrong and was one of the outstanding players in a Sables shirt.

Zimbabwe failed to keep their shape and lost a lot of balls in contact. Morroco bullied Sables at the breakdown and inflicted a lot of turnovers.

The common cancer of failing to defend which has been dodging Zimbabwe for years was evident once more as they allowed the visitors back into the match with sloppy defence and missing a lot of tackles.

The North Africans got their first five points through Ismail Nassik and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck through three penalties by Hridouch Chair.

Morroco got their second try courtesy of their lively wing Cadiri Karim.

Sables stayed in the match with Tamberwa kicking as he managed to slot home three penalties.

Zimbabwe almost stole the match at the death but Tamberwa penalty kick was astray ending the match in a stalemate.

Peter Devillers charges now have a mountain to climb now if they are to stand any chance to qualify for the 2019 rugby world cup to be held in Japan.

Sables now have to win all four of their remaining matches and hope other results go in their favour.

World Cup starts with Glitzy Opening Ceremony And a Middle Finger

Robbie Williams got the ball rolling and the crowd pumping at the World Cup with a traditional glitzy opening ceremony in Moscow, though he couldn’t avoid a bit of controversy.

 

Earlier in the day, the World Cup trophy itself was delivered into the Luzhniki Stadium — where the final will take place in 31 days — by Iker Casillas, a man already well acquainted with the feeling of hoisting it aloft.

As for the ceremony itself, the organisers managed to pack a lot of spectacle into 10 minutes.

First of all, Williams opened up with a rousing rendition of “Let Me Entertain You,” a song which was originally released a year before the 1998 World Cup.

Williams was then joined on the set by Russian opera singer Aida Garifullina, who arrived on the back of a giant fiery eagle.

As Williams and Garifullina continued to warble through the former’s back catalogue, we were also treated to an array of gymnastic tumbling and people twirling about in shiny costumes.

However, Williams couldn’t resist a naughty gesture as the TV cameras zoomed in for a close-up, showing the world his middle finger.

But the song went on, and before long Williams bowed out with a version of that old karaoke staple “Angels” while Ronaldo — the Brazilian, the original, and best — emerged from pitchside.

Indeed, the legendary Brazilian striker came on, dummied a penalty against Zabivaka the dog, the official 2018 World Cup mascot, waved to the crowd and returned from whence he came.

And that, pretty much, was that. At least until broadcasters start to receive complaints by those offended by Williams’ gesture.

Hardly a classic of the genre, but then most World Cup fans couldn’t really care less about what goes on ahead of the first match! ESPN

Soccer Fever: Zim Celebrities pick their Favourite World Cup Teams

FIFA World Cup, the biggest sporting carnival in the world, kick-started yesterday with a traditional glitzy opening ceremony in Moscow.

 

Football enthusiasts around the world are making special preparations to cheer for their favourite teams and Zim Celebrities are also in on the fun.

The biggest worldwide event held in Vladimir Putin’s Russia began with a contest between the two worst teams in the competition on paper.

But Russia, who were without a victory in seven games, exceeded expectations as they dismantled a hopeless Saudi Arabia defence to win 5-0.

In 2014, 3.2 billion people watched the tournament on TV and football fans have already started adjusting their schedules to enjoy the grand event.

Special screenings are also being organised in sports bars and restaurants in most Zimbabwean cities.

We asked a few of our celebrities to find out which teams they were rooting for. Here is what they had to say.

Tinotenda Kadewere Warriors and Djurgårdens IF (Sweden) Midfielder

Tinotenda Kadewere

I’m running with Brazil in this edition of the world cup and key players to watch out for are the likes of Neymar, Salah if he gets to play considering his injured, Kane as he is my favourite striker and Ronaldo as my all time favourite player

Conrad Mwanawashe – (Actor) Humba in ZTV drama series Wenera

Am rooting for Brazil. I like their style of play, flair and skill. For Brazil, it’s not about power but skill. They have a reputation to repair remember they were beaten 1-7 by Germany in Brazil. So it’s a do or die for the Selecao.

‘Humba’ on set in Wenera

Though recovering from injury, watch out for Neymar. I expect him to shine. Philippe Coutinho is in brilliant form for Barcelona and I’m sure he will be worth watching.

Conrad plays Humba in Wenera, the most educated in the Extension area where he resides at the Blue House. Humba is a workers’ committee chairperson at Wenera Diamonds

Miss V Candy – TV host and Star FM Radio Presenter

Miss V Candy

My pick is and has always been Germany not just because they are the defending champions.

Their fighting spirit and team effort is brilliant, Portugal has Ronaldo, Brazil has Neymar, Argentina has Messi: Germany has a team.

Muller for the goals, he is an outstanding player and goal scorer as well as engine for the team.

P.s all the best to Senegal: Mane for the goals. I’m low-key rooting for Ronaldo

Cindy – Award winning Pop Singer

cindy munyavi

I am running with Portugal mainly because of the winning spirit they displayed during the Euro 2016 final.

I remember how an injured Ronaldo ‘took over’ the coaching role to inspire his teammates. If they go into the filed with the mood of 2016 I think they will do well

Comic Pastor – Comedian

Comic Pastor

Africa! I am going with Nigeria expecting a win on Croatia and Iceland and a loss to Argentina.

And the Players to look out for obviously Victor Moses, Obi Mikel and Wilfred Ndidi from Leicester

Mbo Mahocs’ mysterious role in eTV’s Scandal playing out

They made their first Scandal appearance Monday night, and we cannot wait to see what Bulawayo’s Mbo Mahocs and her partner have up their sleeves.

 

Mbo plays Chichi, a cheeky young lady who’ll do everything to get what she wants

The introduction:

Siseko receives a shady call from a woman (Mbo Mahocs) who claims she has more information about the human rights case he’s working on in Kenya.

The woman who won’t disclose her name, doesn’t want to meet Siseko at the headquarters as she claims she fears for her life.

When Siseko promises her protection, she turns down his offer and tells him he’s wasting her time.

Eventually, Siseko agrees to go meet her at her address, but the woman makes him vow to come alone.

It’s about to begin:

Mbo Mahocs

While Siseko looks for a pen and paper, we get to see the mysterious woman on the other side of the phone.

It turns out she’s not alone. She holds the phone, looks at the man next to her and tells him that Siseko has agreed.

The man grabs his watch, walks towards the mirror and says: “Good, it’s about to begin!”

Last night it all played out as the mysterious duo kidnapped Siseko and it seems they have plans of taking over his construction company.

We can’t wait to see the exhilarating role of this Zimbabwean star Mbo Mahocs
