Musicians Nicholas Zakaria and Alick Macheso have tried their best to make the world believe they are close, but loopholes in their relationship were exposed recently following revelations they spent more than five years without visiting each other.
Macheso and Zakaria stayed in the same neighbourhood in Chitungwiza’s Unit A Extention before Macheso moved to Waterfalls about three years ago.
It has emerged the musicians did not visit each other despite a traditionally close personal relationship outside the music scene.

Zakaria and his wife last week attended a marriage ceremony for Macheso’s daughter Sharon, proving the families have strong ties.
Zakaria’s visit to Macheso’s house broke the history of ‘no visits’ that characterised the musicians’ relationship over the past years.

Macheso and Zakaria’s relationship has been strained since the musicians parted ways. They publicly declared they had buried the hatchet but the enmity could have been revived when Zakaria blasted Macheso for taking a second wife, questioning his morals.

Zakaria yesterday confirmed they had not visited each other for a long time, but insisted it was not anything personal.
“It has been a long time since we visited each other but it’s not because there is hatred between us. It’s only that we have other commitments,” he said.
He added that Macheso’s first wife Nyadzisai regularly visits the Zakarias when she goes to Chitungwiza.

“Alick is a busy artiste and I also have a tight schedule. We do not have much time to visit each other but his wife regularly comes to visit us,” said Zakaria, popularly known as Madzibaba.

Macheso said there was no bad blood between the musicians, adding he respects Madzibaba as his elder who nurtured him to be a star.
“People talk a lot of things but he is my senior and to me he is like a father and that is why we invited him to my daughter’s marriage.

‘‘We have not visited each other for a long time because we are both busy.”
