The award of rights is for the broadcast territory of sub- Saharan Africa.

“We’re delighted to continue this partnership for a further five years, as a sign of our commitment to continue to provide our loyal DStv customers throughout the continent with the best sporting action from around the world.”
 
Premier League Executive Chairman, Richard Scudamore, said: “We are extremely pleased that SuperSport – our longest serving international partner – has again invested in the rights to broadcast the Premier League and will remain with us until the end of the 2021/22 season.
 
“Under the new agreement, we look forward to enhanced broadcast and promotional commitments, as well as access to an expansive network of Naspers companies to further develop our presence across Africa. Through their high-quality broadcast and digital platforms, I am confident that over the next five years SuperSport will make the best Premier League content available to our many passionate fans across the region.”

Kazz Releases Star Studded Music Video For Kudana Remix

The stars really are out in this video as Kazz teamed up with talented friends MC Bushkin, Bailey Browne, Mils and Marni in a star-studded Kudana UK Remix.

After the success of the original Kudana song, Kazz took on the supers of Uk to give us a far more glammed up version of the hit song.

Kazz speaks on the idea behind the star-studded line up “It was an opportunity to get into the music scene this side. The opportunity to open doors and get a Zimbo artist on the UK circuit,” he said.

The remix is especially surprising because it used the same beat as of the original track but still managed to sound completely different.

The song opens up with  North London artist MC Bushkin whose effortless dancehall deliveries managed to finesse its way into the song.

Kazz only retained the chorus and allowed the British guests to have a feast on the song.

Boomslang Productions latest recruit Marni rounds things up with his easy-to-love rap style.

There’s just too much sauce on this song and it’s definitely something that you will pump up to for some time to come.

Rapper Dice Throws Another Dice

Dice’s musical journey tracks back as far as the 2000s when she collaborated with Roki on the track titled Rock.

Dice

Her latest track – Trouble featuring Donne talks about all the women who are holding their own and know how to be confident in themselves.

The song has a catchy chorus describing how a bad girl can be a troublemaker and get attention wherever she goes.

In true fashion of a dice, she shows that she can be thrown in any direction and as she have multiple resting positions.

This shows in the video having that classic look but midway it then flips the script and allows you to be in 2017 again with the poolside summer feel.

The video has some unique colour schemes as well as animation elements which make it visually captivating. 

It gives one some interesting optical illusions and mind trickeries especially with the dancers pausing in mid air and some looking like they have frozen in time.

She also showed that she has a lot of celebfriends as she features appearances from rappers Sharky and Cal_Vin as well as the founding Editor of South African Hip Hop Magazine Darryl Nyamutsamba.

So many feels from this Dice offering,  the dances, the outfits, the rap bars, and of course the ladies in the pool. 

Dice is that quintessential female rapper at the moment judging by the amount of quality work she is putting on. In the video, she hired the services of Award-winning stylist Craig Zoowie.

We can’t wait to see what this rapper has up her sleeve next.

Jibilika To Hold Auditions for the €50 000 DanceStar Championships

Zimbabwe will this year get a shot at the largest international dance competition DanceStar with Jibilika hosting the auditions this Tuesday 11 April 2017.

Jibilika Dance Trust in partnership with South African dance champion Paul Modjadji’s Breaking Down Borders will select Zimbabwe’s first representative to DanceStar at Jibilika Urban Culture Centre in Harare.

The auditions will start at 11 am at the Batanai Gardens located Centre (Corner First and Jason Moyo,Harare)

Modjadji made history by becoming the first dancer in Africa to win the European Dance Star World Championships in the solo Jazz category in 2011.

He has been on an African whirlwind with the Breaking Down Borders Africa Tour a pan-African dance tour that saw him make ten stops on the continent teaching dance and collaborating with young African civic leaders and artists

Paul Modjadji

The DanceStar World Tour is held in different countries around the world and the DanceStar Finals take place in Poreč, Croatia with the winner flying away with €50 000.

DanceStar is the No 1 Dance Competition in the world with a network of over 55 000 dancers across 55 countries.

The competition is open to dancers across the world who go through qualifying auditions in their countries to qualify for the finals at the World Masters in Croatia in May, annually.

Dance styles represented vary from classical ballet, contemporary, lyrical, jazz, Broadway, musical theatre, to hip hop and folklore. 

Speaking to Zimbuzz Nyaradzo Nhongonhema the new Jibilika creative director said the opportunity serves as a motivation to all dancers.

“As the performing arts industry, for a long time now we have been struggling to break into the international ‘market’ mostly because of lack of exposure,” she said.

“So having a dancer going to represent Zimbabwe in one of the world’s biggest dance contests is a huge mark in the industry. 

“Besides putting Zimbabwe on the map, the mere representation itself is a sign that the dance sector is making progress.

“This opportunity also works as motivation to all the dancers out there, this is just one but many more opportunities such as this one will be coming,” she added.

She also said the selected candidate will be offered continuous dance sessions with trainers of different genres of dance to make sure that he or she gets in the best form to represent the country in the competition.

What’s with Jah Prayzah and School Girls?

Jah Prayzah and Mafikozolo finally dropped the much-hyped video titled Sendekera at midnight todayThere is so much going on in the video so let’s just get through it.

The video is clean and nice to look at. The storyline needs a double take to actually start making sense. But it’s a music video not a National Geographics documentary.

 

What’s with Jah Prayzah and School girls?

We saw it on Eriza, then those Drum majorette girls on Mudhara Vachauya, now he gets Nhlanhla to put on a whole uniform again…fetish maybe?

 

 

I love that they got Nhlanhla Nciza to step out of her comfort zone and do something different. It was refreshing to see her in that light. She is always dressed to the 90s and for this video, she was less than usual.

 

 

 

We hardly saw Theo in the video. But then again, if he stood next to Jah Prayzah he’d look shorter than he really is. Was the camera man Zimbabwean by any chance? He was constantly being cut out of the frame. He puts the pfee in Mafikizolo for me.

 

 

The plot for the video is also low-key Kure Kure, Jah Prayzah wants a girl and the girl’s mom interrupts.

But he had it coming in this video for being a snitch. The Shekinini thing for me was a no. I feel like it was too much of an overreach to reach more African countries. A campaign for a Nigerian collaboration maybe?

 

And there is a lot of bum shaking…..

 

Overall, it’s a great production. Of course, we would like to have some of these being shot on home ground but I guess you gotta get it where it’s at.

Nadia Nakai’s Bum Is The Most Memorable Thing On Tito Mboweni Music Video

Rapper Nadia Nakai gave us a memorable weekend after her feature in the music video Tito Mboweni left our mouths agape all the way into Holy Sunday!

The sexy singer’s bums made an appearance of just less than 5 seconds on Casper Nyovest’s video Tito Mboweni but that was enough to cause a lot of discomfort.

The music video dropped on Saturday and also features Queen Twerk, a social media sensation who made headlines in South Africa last year after a leaked intimate recording of her and her boyfriend went viral.

Queen Twerk is sexy, that’s a given but she didn’t do justice to her name, only swinging her wide hips from left to right like a normal girl she is not.

Queen Twerk

That’s why Nadia takes the crown and made Queen Twerk forgettable.

The fact that, in this video, she is not coming to us as a rapper, signed under Casper’s record label Family Tree…Nadia is coming to us with her butt talents.

Nadia who first appears from a distance wearing a bikini in ethnic colours and before we could behold the goddess that was on our screen she was already in the pool butts up!

That was the most awesome five seconds of the year thus far.
