ZITF showdown bash

Celebrated musicians will descend on Bulawayo’s Queens Sports Club this Saturday taking advantage of visitors that are in the city for the annual Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF).

Dubbed “Showdown Bash”, the annual concert held on the last day of ZITF has a strong line-up of celebrated musicians including Jah Prayzah, EXQ, Winky D, Takura, Novuyo Seagirl, and Sungura Masters.

Speaking on behalf of promoters DTL Records, Deenosh (real name Kudzai Matondo) said the line-up is their strongest in three years.

“This is our third year running the event. We first had Jah Prayzah, in the next year Winky D, now we have decided to have both artists and others who have been doing well in the past two years,” he said.
