Zim Models Awards..And the Best Dressed Goes to..

It was the gathering of the most fashionable people you will ever see in the same room as the Modelling family put their best fashion foot forward at the Zimbabwe Models Awards last Saturday.

The event which was held at  Pablo’z Club & VIP at Sam Levy’s Village in Harare honoured various models from across the country and beyond as well as rewarding those that have contributed to the development of the industry.

The night’s headliner may have been the honours given at the Zim Modells Awards, yet everyone’s eyes were on the red carpet to see who wore what to the big night.

Mudziyashe Lodge was sponsoring the award for the best-dressed guest and the attendees donned some stunning fabrics and judging such an event is as difficult a job a horse commentary.

But there had to be a winner and it was the gracious Sibusisiwe Dube popularly known as Busi.

Dressed by Posh, her dress might look simple at first glance, but its beauty is all in the details especially the long-sleeved turtleneck.

It was its long train that caught our attention the moment she announced her presence up the Pabloz stairs.

Busi’s gown literally filled up the room as it was all you could see with the embellishment of the dress loud enough to silence all the others who all but looked stunning as well.

Models from different categories also walked away with accolades for the achievements they have made in 2017, amongst the winners was our Zimbuzz Editor, Michael Shoko who received an award for excellence in journalism supporting the modelling industry.

How Twitter and Facebook Reacted to Akiliz

After going into labour for an extended period, Ammara is finally out and the boy Akiliz delivered for all to behold.

Akiliz which is the lead single off Ammara Brown’s album Ammartia – became the most anticipated video release in the history of Zimbabwean music.

But its delay which started with great expectation ended up causing anxiety and many of Ammara’s fans got tired of waiting and when it finally dropped yesterday it caused a lot of talk on social media.

 

Here are some of the funny comments Zimbuzz managed to pick

Coca-Cola Top 50 Music Videos: Who is your Money On

2017 gave us several visual combinations that changed the Zimbabwean game forever. The visual rivalry this year has been so intense showing how the scene is growing.

Butterphly Phunk – Coke on the Beat presenter

The competition will even be tougher with the Coca-Cola Top 50 music videos of 2017 in partnership with ZBC.

So many music videos ignited the year and it’s up to you the viewer to make sure that your favourite artists’ video is in the top 50 or walks away with the top spot.

Of note, this year has been the usual top video directors Andy Cutta and Blaqs but other directors have also thrown their names into the fray.

The like of Noxa Films and Chris Shoca have been making our artists look good inside their lenses.

Some of the videos that dominated the screens include the likes of Killer T’s Bvunza Tinzwe which dropped end of April and also received a lot of play on Trace Africa.

Tamy also gave us a double dose with the release of two videos in the last half of the year, she released Ndyeke and Beautiful Ndozvandiri

Jah Prayzah was not only dropping hot videos but represented the county well at the Coke Studio where he did collaborations with Uganda’s Ykee Benda and Mozambique’s Mr Bow

His videos Chengetedza and Nziyo Yerudo featuring Nigerian Yemi Alade are set to battle it out for the top honours.

Earlier in the year, March to be precise the swagged up Sungura boys called Kambo Boys gave us the visuals to Sweet Larissa and boy do they have style.

Other videos that lit up our flat screens were Cindy Munyavi – Setter Pace, Sniper Storm – Tsvigiri Muhuchi, Papi Pacho by Xtra Large featuring Stunner and BaShupi.

Dereck Mpofu also dropped a couple of videos but Ndinokakama featuring Madam Boss and Comic Pastor did well for the lad.

Coca-cola has given the arts industry a lot of exposure and we hope to see one of the many talents in Zimbabwe go on to shine on the Coke Studio platform when the new season resumes

Now, these are just a few of the many that we could have picked from, we know you have your favourites.

 

Here is how you can vote.

Send five of their favourite videos of 2017 to 0778230493 and type on your phone the videos as follows:

TV# Name of video no.1,  # Name of video no.2,  #Name of video no.3,  #Name of video no.4  and #Name of video no.5

Voting ends on 20 December 2017 at midnight.

DStv Launches New App for SuperSport Fans

DStv Launches New App for SuperSport Fans

SuperSport has launched its new app, designed to provide users with a fresh, modern experience that makes content discovery easier.

Navigation has been refined with all the standards – live scoring, fixtures, results, tables, news and short-form video highlights – still available.

The major difference, however, is that SuperSport’s live channel streaming is now hosted at the DStv Now app, ensuring the breadth of DStv’s channel offerings are contained at a single destination.

This will ensure the best viewing experience as DStv Now has been optimally set up to provide the best support and stability for live streaming.

Users of the SuperSport app needn’t be concerned – they will be automatically redirected to the DStv Now app in the event of them seeking live sport streaming.

Log-in requirements remain the same as before with users needing to use their DStv log-in details, which require their smart-card number.

Navigation is simple on DStv Now, with users simply having to click on the drop-down menu to “live TV” and then locate their preferred channel.

The SuperSport app is available to all users (both DStv and non-DStv subscribers), although live streaming is available only to Premium, Compact and Compact Plus subscribers using their connect ID’s.

As the live-streaming technology sits in the DStv Now app, users must download it. Both the DStv Now and SuperSport apps are available for iOS and Android devices.

Content is free on the apps, but data charges apply.

The SuperSport app is available in all countries. However, only sub-Saharan African countries, where SuperSport’s satellite services are available, will have access to the video highlights.

Unlike the SuperSport app, the DStv Now app is only available in DStv-enabled countries (sub-Saharan Africa).

The SuperSport channels available on the DStv Now app include SuperSport Blitz (channel 200) through to channel 212.

TeeMak Finds Himself in Song

TeeMak has released the first of a series of short songs to be released over the next 3 months. In a self-produced song titled Bleak, he tells a story about a girl who lost her way and struggled to find inner peace in a loud and dark world.

Over the next 3 months, the singer will be releasing songs that touch on personal experiences he has gone through in the past year including Love, God, Evil, Depression, Hope and Faith.

He aims to impact his fans lives on a more deep and intimate level and give them a front row seat to his life’s experiences that they can relate to.

“I’ve spent the past year developing myself and horning my artistry. Countless hours of good old hard work, and hundreds of songs later am ready to step back into the music scene. I am proud to say that I have found my spark – my raw true sound. A true me,” he said.

Model Yollanda Stars in a Canadian Christmas Production

As Christmas approaches movie cinemas will be showing Christmas time movies to enhance the mood of families for the holiday.

Yollanda Chimbarami

This year it’s a different scenario to Yollanda Chimbarami as she is part of the Snow Inn Christmas cast a Canadian production which she plays a role of a continuity traveller.

The former Miss Zimbabwe youngest finalist has completely found a new career but still in front of a camera and with more motion and action.

The 20-year-old model cum-actress who is currently furthering her business studies in Canada has comfortably found space in the North American country’s art industry.

Pursuing her ramp calling, she is working with a remarkable Canadian agent known as Panachè.

The agent exposed her to a number of world recognised fashion photographers such as John Kristalovich and Joshee.

Her debut participation at the World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA) in Hollywood this year exposed her to a number of film directors. 

Yollanda Chimbarami

Yollanda believes that she can be the first Zimbabwean to win the Academy Award of Merit popularly known as the Oscar award perhaps a hint that one of her deals involves a Hollywood one.

The multi-talented model is also the most nominated model in this year’s Zimbabwe Model Awards in Most Photogenic, Best International, Best Fashion, Most Beautiful, Best Pageant and Most Talented.

5 Performances We Loved from Coke Studio Africa 2017

The year 2017  saw the merging of Coke Studio Africa and Coke Studio South Africa into one—bigger and better Coke Studio Africa 2017.

Nasty C – Mad Over You Cover

20-year-old South African rapper, Nasty C attempted what many had failed in so many covers of the hit song Mad Over You by Runtown.

Everything about the song was just brilliant, in fact, he outdid the original song. His singing was pitch perfect and so were his rap lines. It’s now extremely difficult to listen and enjoy the original song as Nasty C’s refix totally owned the song.  Watch the performance below

 

Mafikizolo – Malaika cover

South Africa’s favourite Pop duo of Mafikizolo took on the challenge of doing the cover of Nyashinski ‘s Malaika

The singing duo of Theo Kgosinkwe and Nhlanhla Nciza captured every emotion in the song as they chose to a performance while seated down as though having a conversation. Watch the emotive performance below

 

 

Jah Prayzah, Mr Bow and Ykee Benda – Superman

It was a 3 country affair, Uganda’s Ykee Benda,  Mozambique’s Mr Bow and Zimbabwean treasure Jah Prayzah in a masterpiece that exhibited great chemistry.

Rightly titled Superman, the three gentlemen where superb in their deliveries of the songs as each of them dug deep into their cultural silo to produce one of Coke Studio’s best moments. Watch the video below

 

 

Alikiba, Patoranking and Masterkraft – Katika

Seating at over 1,2 million Youtube views, Nigerian dancehall superstar Patoranking collaborates with fellow countrymen and one of Nigeria’s most sought-after producers and DJ Masterkraft and  AliKiba a Tanzanian recording artist, singer-songwriter on the song Katika.
