All set for Bennie Man show
By Tafadzwa Zimoyo
All is set for Jamaican reggae/dancehall artiste Anthony Moses Davis, better known by his stage name as Beenie Man, show dubbed ‘‘Unstoppable Tour’’ at Alexander Sports Club in Milton Park, Harare tomorrow.
The event which is organised by Star FM and 2 Kings Entertainment is scheduled to start at 6pm sharp will see acts like Winky D, Jah Prayzah, Soul Jah Love and Cindy Munyavi sharing the stage with Bennie Man.
Some of the songs to look forward include, ‘‘Feel It Boy’’, ‘‘Dude’’, ‘‘Hmmm Hmmm’’, ‘‘Girls’’ and ‘‘The Specialties’’ among others.
Beenie Man last came to Zimbabwe in 2010 where he also performed three of his hit songs at that time with Cindy Munyavi.
The two performed, ‘‘Girlz Dem Sugar’’, ‘‘Feel It Boy’’ and ‘‘Dude’’.
In an interview with the event organiser from 2 Kings, Kudzai Matongo affectionately known as Dee Nosh said they were ready for the show.
“It is here and we are ready for the show. The tickets are moving fast with ordinary $10 and VIP pencilled at $20. Due to cash shortages too, we will be accepting Ecocash and on the post we will also have swipe machines for those with plastic money,” he said.
He is expected to conduct sight-seeing around Harare including having interviews at Star FM, where he will meet his fans.
However it was speculated that Bennie Man would grace former Big Brother’s Pokello Nare’s birthday at Pabloz tonight but Dee Nosh of 2Kings Entertainment said it is not true.
“We are sticking to our programme as planned though some changes additions to suite the fans at the show and ghetto visits. He is not attending any party as rumours are circulating. There is no such thing,” he said.
Meanwhile, former model-cum-musician Vanessa Sibanda affectionately known as Queen Vee will no longer be performing as her manager Farai Chamatowa confirmed the latest development.
“Queen Vee won’t be attending Bennie Man show unfortunately as scheduled because of late payments as of today (Thursday).
‘‘We are surprised by this although the marketing started a month ago,” he said. The Herald
