Like always a few people are disgruntled by the results.

Social media chatter reveals that many thought Killer T was robbed of the song of the Year for Takangodaro, others questioned the wisdom behind awarding Ammara Brown Outstanding Female artist when she does not have an album.

Ammara Brown beat gospel musician, Fungisai Zvakavapano-Mashavave and new sensation Tamy (Thamsanqa Moyo) for the Outstanding Female Musician gong.

Nick Zemura’s Muzita Rababa a series, also attracted a lot of attention with people question how a series was nominated in the Full-Length Film category which they eventually won.

NAMA Adjudicator Ben Mahaka later explained that Muzita Rababa had submitted a 65-minute feature film.

So the big question is Who Are The People Responsible for Deciding the NAMA Winner.

Fashion Designer Thembani Mubochwa To Launch 2017 Collection

Fashion Designer Thembani Mubochwa To Launch 2017 Collection

Award winning Fashion designer Thembani Mubochwa who is the brainchild behind the TZM (Thembani Mubochwa Zimbabwe) brand, unveiled some of his 2017 plans.

Thembani Mubochwa

Mubochwa who is expected to release a luxurious collection and the Elephant Dress collection (which will be in the big five animals collection project) next month.

The luxurious collection will be falling under the name ‘Journey Beginning’

According to Mubochwa, the collection will be having male and female designs and this will be the first time that he releases both ladies and gentleman designs at the same time.

The name of the collection ‘Journey Beginning’ was chosen as Thembani believes that the collection will reflect the TMZ brand’s 15 years journey in the fashion industry.

“The Thembani Mubochwa’s luxurious collection will be under the wing name called ‘Journey Beginning’ the inspiration for this collection comes from the journey of 15 years I have walked without looking back or aside to do something else except fashion designing.

“This would have been my first collection that I will be ready to showcase all over the world but this year it’s not my focus,” said Thembani

However, Mubochwa says what will make the ‘Journey Beginning’ collection different from his previous collections will be the maturity from the quality of his collection.

“The unique part of my collection will be the maturity from the quality of my collection especially the finishing and the garment construction, something that we are lacking in Zimbabwe as fashion designers.

“The finishing on local designers clothes is not something you can take to the international platforms, I believe its high time we stopped leading the young generation astray and tarnish the image of our fashion industry,” he said.

Among his other plans is to continue working with the Craig Zoowie brand which he believes will take a higher step in the fashion world.

Some other projects that Thembani Mubochwa will be working on are to do with the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Water as he is the Zimbabwe Elephant Ambassador

“I am investing more in Zimbabwe this year as the Elephant dress was endorsed by the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Water together with the Ministry of Education starting the Schools’ Elephant Dress competition the first term of 2017 1st term,” said Mubochwa.

NAMA Disqualifies Foreign Directed Music Videos

The National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ) on Thursday announced the list of nominees for 16th National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) edition to be held on 18th February 2017 at the 7 Arts Theatre in Avondale, Harare.

Notable nominees in music include Trap King Takura, young Tamy, Winky D and Jah Prayzah.

In a press release, the organisers said a panel of independent adjudicators were appointed to preside over all the submissions and went through an intense 6 weeks of adjudication. 

They said the adjudication was based on submitted entries together with monitors’ reports of both individuals and institutions that were appointed to keep an eye on excelling artists throughout the year.

Adjudicators applauded the geographic spread of entries across all genres and quality of artworks despite limited resources although in some sectors like Spoken Word. 

However, the Arts Council body said that they were not going to recognise video entries directed by foreigners.

“Most submissions of music videos were directed by foreigners and generally, the award for outstanding video is given to the director and NAMA does not award foreign practitioners,” read the press release

Adjudicators said only Zimbabweans are eligible to receive a NAMA.

This disqualified a lot of videos including Jah Prayzah’s Two video Watora Mari and Mudhara Vachauya, This also means that a lot of Zimbabwean in the diaspora will not be eligible to enter since most of their video are done by foreign directors.

The panel also noted the decline in the number of females in the arts sector.

“…..lack of consistence in female artists in terms of productivity and presence, this is owing to various reasons top amongst them being reluctance of promoters to support female artists across board,” they noted.

Zimbuzz is pleased to share with its readers that it has been nominated in the Outstanding Online Media Category.

Tamy is Back With A Song That Every Black Girl Needs To Hear

Tamy is Back With A Song That Every Black Girl Needs To Hear

Almost every song cued on our playlists today is commanding ladies to drop it, shake it, wine it and ricochet in practically no garments. 

If women are not beeing called the B-Word they are either being told all the corners on their bodies that they themselves don’t know exist or all the things the brother would want to do to them on a Sunday morning when mama is at Church.

Titled Beautiful/Ndozvandiri Tamy’s new offing is set to immunise your year against your corrupted playlist, as it provides a healthy dose of confidence encouraging people to feel comfortable and pretty the way they are.

It commends our uniqueness as people and goes further to urge everybody to take a place of valuing themselves as Beautiful.

For a change a feel good song delivered with all the ingredients of a banger track, a sensible message packaged in an enjoyable manner.

The song dropped on Wednesday and its Tamy’s first collaborative single of 2017 featuring trap genius Takura and versatile dancehall singer Dobba Don.

Tammy opens the song in her signature infectious voice, capturing the essence of being yourself while making you feel good about yourself.

The song is set on the RnB beat with heavy influences of Electro dance music and the three take turns to immerse their strong vocals in a perfect way.

 

The Rebirth of Tamy?

There is a disturbingly huge void in the Royal Palace where RnB Queens are supposed to reside, Ever since Queen Tererai Mugwadi unceremoniously relinquished her crown it was only up to one royal member Cindy Munyavi taking her regal duties seriously.

Is the situation about to change? Can the little princess Tamy wrestle the throne and assume to the summit?

We are of the strong belief that this song is a rebirth of Tammy as she is now perfectly in her genre, the way she is so comfortable riding that beat shows that she is at home.

The first time I listened to Tammy in 2016 I was left wondering why an 18-year-old with such a voice was not doing pop music.

We enjoyed Tamy of “Ndibereke” but we love Tamy of “Ndozvandiri” You are 18 for Obama’s sake please be our Pop Queen.

Super Rugby Comes Back to Zimbabwe And This Time it’s Bigger

It’s back, oh yes super rugby comes back to Zimbabwe and this time it’s bigger.

Bulls’ Handre_Pollard – Pic: Superxv

Kyros Sports brought in the Vodacom Bulls and the Toyota Cheetahs last year to play at the giant National Sports Stadium.

This time around they have extended their invitation to the Lions who were the Super Rugby losing finalists and the Stormers who won the Currie Cup and the four teams will battle it out again at the National sports stadium on the 28th of January.

According to the organisers, the school teams will once again be the curtain-raisers and Zim fans will be hoping to see Churchill and Prince Edward again battle in the giant stadium.

“I am pleased to announce that we are going to have a Old Mutual Super Rugby weekend on the 28th of January, where 4 Super rugby teams will compete at one venue, and this is the first time in the world that you have such an arrangement, the teams will start coming in on the 26th and they again will conduct coaching clinics at different schools in the capital, ” said Nyasha Muchochomi, Kyros Sports director of athletics division.

A draw will be conducted on the eve of the matches to find out the teams pairing and Nyasha called out on Zimbabweans to come out in their numbers and fill up the stadium.

” we call upon all Zimbabweans to come out in their numbers and fill up the NSS, last year we had just over 20 000 paying crowd and this year since we have gone bigger we are expecting a bit more and the bigger the crowd the better.

He also added that talks are underway to have the Bulls adopt Zimbabwe as their second home.

‘the Bulls were really impressed with the crowd last year and remember they average 17000 at home so for them that crowd was massive, so talks are underway to have them play at least one game in Zimbabwe but it’s still a long way off,” added Nyasha.

Tickets are selling from $2 up to $25 and are already available online.

We are here for Business — Pasuwa

Zimbabwe Warriors head coach Kalisto Pasuwa, together with his skipper have warned the Red Foxes of Algeria not to underrate the Southern African region’s representatives at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations tournament when the two sides square off in Group B opening match on Sunday.

Speaking ahead of the Group B opener with Africa’s fourth best team, Pasuwa warned the North Africans, saying they should underrate his charges at their own peril as the Warriors were out to prove a point.

“We won our group and deserve to be here,” said Pasuwa.

The Warriors gaffer is of the idea that his squad is out to prove a point.

“We are taking it match by match. This may be a chance for some of our players to be seen at this stage. Hopefully, by the end of the tournament, we will have two or three players playing abroad, and they have to deliver and show character,” said the national team gaffer.

The history-making Zimbabwean coach warned Khama Billiart and Knowledge Musona not to be overwhelmed by fame, but instead to remain positive ahead of the tie.

“We have cover for Nakamba but we will miss him. Khama we have been talking to him, he is a man to watch and should be positive in whatever he does, same as with Musona is one of our regulars and he too needs to be very positive,” said Pasuwa.
