Slizer, Young Igwe unite for Dhewa commemorations

By Tawanda Marwizi

Motswana musician Naledi Kaisara, who is popularly known as Slizer, will rekindle her performance combination with Peter Moyo for the Tongai Moyo commemoration shows to be held across the country.

This will be the first time Slizer will share stage with Young Igwe, as Peter is popularly known, after she publicly spoke about their alleged love affair and threatened to reveal more about their relationship.

The two held a number of joint shows last year. The big show of the commemorative gigs will be held at Harare Gardens on October 5 and a number of local musicians will share the stage at the mega show.

Another musician from Botswana, Charma Girl, is also expected to perform.

Gift Petro, who is Slizer’s Zimbabwean manager, confirmed the dancer and vocalist will be coming for the commemorations.

“All is now in place because we have agreed with the organisers to have Slizer join Peter for the shows. She will travel with him for most of the gigs,” he said.

The first gig will be held at Mbizo Stadium in Kwekwe on October 3 with a number of artistes expected to perform at the event.

Moyo and Slizer will share stage with Killer T, Extra Kwazvose, Shinsoman, Shiga Shiga and Ronnie Mudhindo among others.

Young Igwe, who took over the band after his father’s death, said they have decided to make the commemorations bigger than before.

“The commemorations should not be done in Harare only but in most parts of the country. This year we have decided to start from my hometown in Kwekwe and go to other places thereafter,” he said.

He said he will honour him with a DVD for “Mushonga Mukuru” that will be released on October 3.

“The DVD has one of my father’s favourite songs ‘Ndiro Yababa’ and three songs from my album,” he said.

Last year the event drew huge crowds with a number of artistes performing at the Harare Gardens.

Moyo died on October 15 in 2011 at the age of 43 after a suffering from cancer. The Herald
