It’s the end of the month and some revellers have already planned for the weekend on where to go and chill.

Despite the weather being unreliable and unpredictable these days, one can’t deny that the winter season is here and according to our season calendar, the month of June is one of the coldest.

Brace yourselves for some chilly weather at the oncoming events and remember still that the Covid-19 pandemic is still among us, so stay safe, sanitize, wear a mask and observe social distancing.

Some people have relaxed, but they forget that the cases might rise if we are not careful.

Here are some events taking place across the country this weekend:

Nyovest, Jah Prayzah for Kings Concert

Organisers for the show dubbed “Kings Concert” featuring top South African rapper Cassper Nyovest and Jah Prayzah have said all is set for the much awaited show which will be held at the Wood Pub and Grill, Longchen Plaza in Belvedere, Harare.

The South African musician is expected to arrive tomorrow morning ahead of the show later in the evening.

Already, the hype for show has been made on social media, with fans waiting not only to meet him, but also to watch his performance alongside Jah Prayzah.

The event is being hosted by local fashion and music promoter, “Hatipfeke Junk”.

It has also been confirmed that both Cassper and Jah Prayzah will be performing with live bands.

Nyovest is also expected to have lunch with his fans in the afternoon at the PaDendere restaurant in Borrowdale.

Chibuku Neshamwari dance festival begins tomorrow

The popular Chibuku Neshamwari Traditional Dance Festival roars into  life tomorrow at Makuluwani Bar, with various groups from Harare taking part.

Harare will be the first to host the event, which will be taken to all the 10 provinces.

The traditional dance festival has over the years afforded groups global recognition and performances at various corporate and cultural events.

The festival has become important in promoting and ensuring that traditional dances, which are one of the crucial intangible cultural heritages, are celebrated.

Dance and music have played an important part in the way people interact, celebrate and preserve our culture.

To this end, the Chibuku Neshamwari Traditional Dance Festival has kept alive the many traditional dances that define the country and its people.

The top three winning groups will receive prize money.

This will then culminate in a national final where winners from the 10 provinces will battle it out for the honours.
