Controversial dancer Beverly “Bev” Sibanda who is currently in neighbouring South Africa says her
long-time manager Hapaguti “Harpers”Mapimhidze is “courting hunger to his house” by dumping her and managing Lady Storm aka Eriza.

This comes after Mapimhidze revealed that he is now running the affairs of Lady Storm’s Swagga
Band after Bev engaged some South African runners who elbowed him (Mapimhidze) out.

Bev recently temporarily relocated to South Africa where she has lined up several showcases which she says will keep her busy for some time.

Her chances of returning to Harare seem to dwindle with each passing day.
The poll dancer views Eriza as one of the struggling performers with no influence in showbiz.

“I hope it’s just a rumour that Harpers now manages Lady Storm, otherwise haaa anonofa nenzara uko (he will die of hunger),” she told the Daily News from her South Africa base.

Mapimhidze and Bev have been together for the past nine years.
“I am helping Lady Storm because she has the potential. Only time will tell,” Mapimhidze hit back.
“I am the president of Dancers Association of Zimbabwe; hence I am free to help anyone in the
showbiz.”

Over the nine years that they have been together, Bev’s artistic career has blossomed and along the way she has won several artistic awards.

And because of Mapimhidze, Bev is now a popular
brand on the local showbiz circuit- Daily News.
