Press Statement :Leonard Zhakata’s Harare and Kwekwe based fans have all the reason to smile as the Mugove hit maker takes his act to the respective cities this weekend. These are Zhataka’s first performances in the two cities since the official launch of his latest album Mutungadzese.
Zhakata is billed to play at Destiny Night Club in Westlea on Friday 12 August before proceeding to Tropical Hotel in Kwekwe the following day.
Zhakata has been touring since the release of his latest album. He has so far been to Banket, Beitbridge, Chegutu, Glendale, Guruve, Kadoma, Masvingo and Mt. Dawrin where mostly of the shows have attracted large crowds and fans, new and old, have fallen in love with the new offering.
Some Harare-based die hard Zora fans have had to travel outside the city to see Zhakata and the Zimbabwe All Stars belt out live songs from the album.
“It is our turn, and all Harare based fans should attend and enjoy the latest product, especially Madam boss which has sent many fans, new and old, crazy”, said a Zora addict Emmanuel Saruchera.

Meanwhile, the pre-Zora show atmosphere is electric in Kwekwe as the show at the Tropical Hotel has been heavily publicised as reported by Blessing Mtimati, a Kwekwe based Zora fan who posted on Zora Fans what’s up discussion group.
‘This is the first time I have seen so many Zora posters in Kwekwe since 2006 when I moved to Kwekwe, and I look forward to a great show”. Wrote Matimati

Zhakata’s latest album has evoked mixed feeling with some fans calling on him to revert to the old bit in songs such as Mugove which catapulted him to stardom. Regardless, fans attending shows are enjoying the new songs, and the song “Madam Boss” is causing havoc on radio stations and quickly rising on the radio top hits.
Zhakata rose to prominence in the early 1990s when he was part of the Maungwe Brothers, working together with his late cousin, Thomas Makion. He is well known for hits such as Mugove which became a national anthem during its days and continues to be a favourite for his fans at shows to date.
