Love is in the air for Big Brother Housemates

Mandlexi at their night out
It seems like the Big Brother house is now a spot of finding love as. What happens in the house does not seem to end in the house. Elikem and Pokello opened the way for other Big Brother Lovers as Mandla and Lexi are now so much in love with each other.

Recently Lexi posted a picture with a shinning diamond ring on her figure soon after Mandla visited her and her family in Cape Town. Now the question that everyone has is, Is that an engagement ring??

When Lexi was still in the Big Brother house, she acted as if she did not care that much about Mandla, surprisingly they are seen to be spending so much time together to the extent of visiting each other's families 

In my own point of view, l think Mandla and Lexi make a cute couple together because relationship is all about understanding each other and knowing what the other person wants.

Mandlexi's fans are shouting out that they want a wedding from the two, l just wonder if it will happen or the ring in Lexi's figure is just meant to show commitment nothing more. People in love can do anything so let us just wait and see what happens between Mandla and Lexi

Richard to perform at Harare Reps Theatre

Richard performing on a live show
International stage comedy “My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish and I’m in Therapy!” is coming to Zimbabwe, leading South African actor Michael Richard delivering this hit one-hander show.

The show will have only two performances at Harare’s Reps Theatre, on Friday May 16 and Saturday May 17.

Popularly known from his hilariously funny play of an Italian-Jewish family and the crazy characters who drive the main character into therapy.

The show has toured the world since 2007 and has enjoyed a successful run in South Africa. In this one-man tour de force, Richard has created a range of voices, dialects and sound effects that will make the stories and jokes come alive.

The show is expected to entertain the people of Zimbabwe by making them laugh at every word that comes out of Richard's mouth.

Richard was schooled in Zimbabwe before studying drama at the University of Cape Town. In 1974, he joined PACT as a member of Ken Leach’s famed Arena Company. After playing Hamlet for PACT in 1978, he left the company to become a freelance performer, although he was enticed back as an associate actor for four years in the mid-1980s.

In the 30 years that Richard has been on stage, he has played a variety of roles from Shakespeare to rock-opera; from comedy, tragedy, farce and musicals to several pantomime dames. Other productions include “Othello”, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Fangs”, “Laughing Matters”, “Wild Honey”, “Fiddler on the Roof”, “Amadeus”, “Educating Rita”, “Full Circle” and “Ying Tong – A Walk With the Goons”.

Zahara shines in Bulawayo

Zahara performing with a fan
Afro-soul musician Zahara shared the stage with three other female artistes, Cynthia Mare, Sandra Ndebele and Diana Samkage.

During the show, the afro-fusion musician,Mare hogged the limelight with songs from her latest album Songs my mother loved in a tribute to her late mother. With her magnificent force, the crowd could not resist dancing despite the cold

Mare did not disappoint the fans who had been waiting for four hours as she opened with a song Weakness in me by American musician Keisha White which Zahara also performed later on.

Following Mare was Ndebele with her energetic dance routines together with her dancers including professional male soukous dancers, Ndebele sang the song "Sukuma". The audience could not resist to notice the wedding ring she was wearing. This comes as a challenge to other women out there who give up their careers and passions just because they got married.

 Samkange dressed
in attire that bore colours of the Zimbabwean flag, she delightfully entertained the audience with her  mbira playing skills and played the tambourine.

The interesting part was the way in which the audience called out Zahara's name before she could take to the stage.

The award-winning singer, beautifully dressed and with great confidence took to the stage with her band, lighting up the atmosphere.
She sang Incwadi Encane, Loliwe and Umthwalo Wami among other songs from her debut album Loliwe, which proved to be a big success in 2011.

Zahara's music just has a way of touching people's lives and motivating them. Such entertainment is exactly what the city of Bulawayo needed hopefully we will be getting more of this
