IF THE ALBUM BECOMES A HIT.
We have listened to the six track album Tsoka Dzerwendo and we will give our verdict in the next article.
Ok, we know you are wondering where we are getting these figures from let me break it down for you.

Here are the (hypothetical) facts
* Red Cross Zimbabwe has enlisted 40 000 volunteers across the country to sell the album according to an article recently published in The Sunday Mail.
* His album will be sold for $1 the same price as those mercenaries commonly referred to as pirate guys meaning the chances of it being pirated have been reduced significantly. (Although Bluetooth and WhatsApp could derail this effort)
* The album is the most anticipated album in recent times.
* Now assuming that of the 40 000 vendors selling the album, each one sells 25 copies….Macheso will hit the 1 Million mark in just under 2 weeks.
* An additional force of mobile teams including airtime and newspaper vendors have been enlisted to sell the album. This figure could also add to the numbers.
But again the possibility of this happening depends on whether the album is a HIT

The 10th edition of Harare’s Got Talent takes place this Saturday March 19 and as many as 20 acts are lined up to battle it out at the popular annual showcase for local performers.
This year’s event will be hosted at a new venue, Theo’s House of Coffees at 167 Enterprise Road, Chisipite, instead of the previous Reps Theatre venue, but – as before – the show is open to the public, who can come along to see just some of the wide range of talent that the city has to offer.

A spokesman for the organisers said the acts lined up included singers, dancers, singer-guitarists, an illusionist, a comedian and instrumentalists.
“We stage this show each year to provide a free platform to aspiring and current performers, enabling them to highlight what talents they have,” he said.
“Over the years many of the contestants have gone on to develop careers in the entertainment business, and we are hoping that among the members of the audience will be venue owners and show producers, who can see for themselves just what a wealth of genuine performance talent we have in Harare.
“Members of the public who wish to attend should be at the venue by 6.30pm, and as seating is limited they can do a telephone booking to ensure they have seats; they will need to call 0772 881877.”
MultiChoice Zimbabwe has come forward to provide sponsorship funding to cover costs of staging of the event, while Brands Africa will contribute product for prizes for event winners.
“Participants do not get paid for their participation, nor do they have to pay to be involved, but it gives them a free means of showcasing their talent, and we hope it will be both worthwhile for them and entertaining for the audience,” the spokesman said.
A team of judges will give feedback on each performance and will at the end of the evening select a winner and two runners-up, as a fun means of encouraging excellence on stage. Previous winners have included singers, singing groups, dance groups and comedy acts.
“We cannot comment on what may or may not have happened at other events but we can assure there will be nothing untoward happening at the Wizkid show,” said their spokesperson Larry Kwirirayi
He added: “both are talented, professional and committed individuals who are aware of the responsibility they have to their fans.”
Other local acts include Judgment Yard, Mzoe 7, Dj Rax. Dj Storm. Dj Tafmiles. DJ Mellow T and Cynthia Mare.
Wizkid has a lot of number one hits under his belt and is a proven top performer, perhaps we could see more of his calibre in future shows.
“The promoter is always looking for opportunities to not only bring top quality entertainment to Zimbabwe but also enhance the country’s reputation as a high-value destination for hosting premier events,” said Mr Kwirirayi

The Miss World Zimbabwe Bootcamp which was supposed to have begun today (15 March 2016) has been suspended to a date yet to be announced.
Consequently, this also means that the grand finale which was set for the 16th of April 2016 at Borrowdale Brooke Golf Course will have to be rescheduled.
Tendai Hunda, Miss World Zim 2014
Here is why
Speaking to Zimbuzz, Miss Zimbabwe Trust spokesperson, Tendai Chirau said the change has been necessitated by requests from students who had failed to make it on time to the auditions that were held last month.
This means an extended period for those wanting to audition and also good news for those who are either out of the country or failed to travel to Bulawayo and Harare.
“Aspiring queens can visit our offices from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 4 pm until month end, those who can not (make it to the offices) can apply through our website,” he said.
For those who willing to contest, we have made a simple list of the requirements and regulations, you can find it on this link >> All you need to know about the auditions
