Mandisoul and Miss V Candy Welcome baby Boy!

Radio and Television personalities Marc Mandisoul and Miss V Candy are now proud parents to a baby boy.

Presenter Search Zimbabwe and the Club E presenters christened the baby Michael Reign Mandisoul.

Miss V Candy delivered Michael Monday late afternoon around 1700hrs in Belvedere.

Mandisoul was quivering all over with excitement when he spoke to Zimbuzz about his newborn son.

“It’s just an amazing, amazing experience, this boy is just a summary of what we been to each other, sharing love, life, work and building the Entertainment brand, for me, this was like the greatest gift ever, from a wonderful, talented and highly intelligent special woman,” he enthused.

“I guess we would love to see him grow the Empire one day,” he added.

Although the couple was not keen on sharing the baby’s picture as yet we can just imagine he looks as sweet and cute as the moniker he has already been given – SoulCandy

This is how our naughty selves imagine Miss V Candy was like in the delivery room:

With her pretty looking face, we can see her forehead beaded with perspiration,eyebrows deeply knitted and her sexy lips slightly ajar in agony.

You know how we love to watch those beautiful celebrities giving birth on TV and Miss V Candy being one with all the Eye-Candy (She damn hot) it must have been a pleasure to watch all that pretty face developing wrinkles in a few seconds

Or maybe she was crossing one leg and after that the other or maybe she was trying to rearrange the Hospital furniture all in the name of delivering Michael…

From all of us here at Zimbuzz…Congratulations

Could Ammara Brown and John Cole’s Kiss be the end of Morales in Zim Films and Videos?

Could Ammara Brown and John Cole’s Kiss be the end of Morales in Zim Films and Videos?

 

One of the most dependable things about Zimbabwe’s Film and video industry is that you are guaranteed a “Clean” movie, no overt and offensive dressing , no sexual innuendoes that make you blush, No Sex scenes that make you answer the Remote.

Ammara Brown and Joe Cole
Ammara Brown and Joe Cole

Just good Old Entertainment and then Came that Tom Mbambo and Bev Kiss that nearly knocked the teeth out of Grandmothers Mouth.

The resulting  uproar by Studio 263 fans might have caused all these other series, movie and video producers wary of Kissing scenes and then that movie Escape came out , and it has it all , Kissing and sex and everything in between and suddenly directors and actors got more daring with their  intimacy scenes on screen.

 These steamy-Cant- watch-with-your-mum-in- the-room Kisses seem to be here to stay and the latest to join the hall of  Zim kisses is John Cole and Ammara Brown.

These two have had a long relationship, on and off screen that is Ammara does the singing and John Cole puts the dancing visuals to the golden chords…Case in point Mukoko and Havarare.

So them jumping into Acting together does not seem to be a very long leap.

The small trailer ( OR teaser I never know which is which) posted on John Coles Instagram page shows a very cozy scene of Ammara sitting on a kitchen counter with Mr Cole right in front of her and they seem to be talking about something  they really don’t want found out and when Ammara soothes Mr Cole about whatever it is they want done( Murder ? Drugs? FOMO got me bad)  They lean in into the kiss .

Now you can tell that they have done this before (NO NO NO Come back) cause the kiss is flawless and it must have taken a thousand takes to get that lip battle on point.

 The Camera work was a bit sloppy cause we didn’t get the perfect angle we used to in other movies, lights were dim and the sound was something else BUT it’s a good start  and we can’t wait to see these two multi-talented people get it on ( Again Come back) in this acting business.

 Now, of course, we asked around about this kissing trend and people have mixed feelings, some think that as Zimbabweans we have been desensitised by First World media and we are headed towards the immoral path and it will only be reinforced through our own media.

One particular man *Name withheld cause well* thought that as a community we are already in trouble with sex tapes and nudes and our movies didn’t need add fuel to fire by exposing children and youth to such practices. 

The other bunch of “sexually liberated” woke people simply agreed that ART is an imitation of Life and if artists are curbed with cultural norms and not what is on the ground as a society then we will never know the SIGNS and SYMPTOMS of our social ills.

Of course, they did not say it quite as eloquently we sort of summarised it for you. As Zimbuzz we just want the première date and detail of this Movie and the tickets.

What do you think about Kissing and sex scenes in Zimbabwean Movies??

The announcement was made today on his various social media platforms.

“Today Winky D releases the official video for his mega hit, “Disappear”. The BBC 1Xtra chart-topping single video will premiere at 8pm (GMT+2) on Botswana TV Flava Dome. It will later be released worldwide via Winky D YouTube channel at 10pm (GMT+2),” read the statement.

Winky D had announced during his  12-track new album premier on ZiFM in October this year that fans were crying for him to release the video to the record-breaking tune.

“Winky D fans have been asking for this video, we do what we do because of the fans. And as I promised during Gafa Futi album launch that I would deliver Disappear video before any other video, it was fitting to answer the Disappear question before I answer the latter – Panorwadza Moyo, Twenty Five or Gafa Party questions, said Winky D.

The statement also said that BTV Flava Dome viewers will be the first to view the video as a thank you gift to Winky D’s fans in Botswana who are still euphorically playing, dancing and pushing Disappear to a classic status.

The video directed by Kyle White and shot in South Africa will definitely satisfy fans from Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and worldwide who were hungry for Winky D Disappear’s visuals

 

Presenter Search Zimbabwe set to partner Africa Magic

Entertainment Africa the producers of Presenter Search Zimbabwe announced a partnership with Africa Magic, a channel on the DStv platform.

presenter-search

“Our Top 10 finalists will have a great opportunity to sell their talent to a wider African audience as we shall be producing about 15 television programs for Africa Magic,” said Marc Mandisoul the producer.

He also announced that the top 3 winners from the final 20 will be taken for further work grooming by Zimbabwe radio stations.

The Presenter Search Zimbabwe’s first season has attracted a lot of interest especially during Harare auditions where the team of judges had to work extra time to give everyone a chance to audition.

Also speaking on the same program, one the judges Power Fm’s Dj ButterPhly said she was excited by the new show.

“Presenter Search Zimbabwe represents the aspirations I had growing up as a teenager and I am glad that those who hold the same aspirations as I did back then, now have a chance to live their dream.

Meanwhile, the nation should breast itself for an entertaining season of Presenter Search as it is set to bring new standards as far as local production is concerned.

“One of the things that Africa magic was concerned with was  the quality of the production but after they had a chance to see our pilot programme they were convinced that the show was indeed of great standard,” added Mandisoul.

The top 20 who will make it to boot camp will be selected by the judges who include, Phathisani from Star FM, Butterphly from Power Fm.

The public will then chose their preferred top 10 through a voting system.

The team also unveiled a sponsorship package from Ruvimbo funeral services.

Their representative Mr Eddie Gomba said as odd as it might sound as a funeral service company they believe a person should live and enjoy their existence fully before they pass on to the other world,hence their partnership with Presenter Search.

Ruvheneko Quits and We have her Resignation Letter

There seem to be New developments every day at the Newlands-based radio station ZiFM as popular host Ruvheneko Parirenyatwa has resigned.

Ruvheneko found herself in the cold waters as she was ‘promoted’ to an unnamed high position to Mighty Movies,thereby leaving her powerful position as ZiFM Programming Manager.

The announcement which was made by AB Communications  also saw ZiFM station Manager Tendai Madondo being ‘promoted’ to Managing Director Regional Stations (Hevoi FM -Masvingo and 98.4 FM – Gweru)

Things have never been the same for the daughter of Health Minister since that infamous May 19 when she hosted #ThisFlag founder Pastor Evan Mawarire on her program The Platform.

In a letter provided by Zimbuzz sources and dated 31 October almost 24 hours before the parent company AB Communication publicly announced a reshuffle, she declined the new offer.

She cited ‘frustrating working environment’ as reasons for her resignation.

“This letter serves to thank you for growing me as a media practitioner since the early part of 2012 and to inform you that I am resigning from all/any titles within the AB Communications Group that have been offered me,” read her resignation

“As you know, a few months ago, I had informally requested in conversation that I would rather move to Mighty Movies than to stay at ZiFM Stereo.

“This was in direct response to the continued frustrating working environment that I have experienced at ZiFM Stereo in the past 10 months; experiences you are well aware of,” reads part of the resignation letter.

“Coincidentally, My Future is in television so this move made sense to us all.

“I note that you’ve offered me this very opportunity through a lateral move in management to Mighty Movies, commencing November 1, 2016, but as much as I appreciate this, I humbly decline your offer.

“Appreciating that the media space in Zimbabwe is very small, I trust that we will remain close and I hope that AB Communications will always be a reference point for me and that you know that I am only one call away.

“I wish AB Communications dominance, innovation, favour, excellence and all round success in this exciting new season.”
