Staff Reporter|What started off as a normal annual praise and worship gospel music concert for Gwanda three years ago will this year be a full fledged two day President Emmerson Mnangagwa victory celebration gathering on the 5th and 6th October.
Bank rolled by Zimbabwean but South African based billionaire businessman Justice Maphosa who rescued President Mnangagwa from the jaws of death at the hands of former President Robert Mugabe, the highly funded musical concert enters its fourth year but this year with a difference.
ZimEye.com sources from Gwanda indicated that this year’s show which will be graced by Mnangagwa has been dedicated to celebrate his victory in the presidential elections held on July 30.
According to the sources, the ZANU PF provincial structures in Matabeleland South are working flat out mobilising party members to attend the concert which brings in several high profile South African musicians on a state of the art stage and equipment brought into the country from S.A.
Asked if the concert will go ahead besides the cholera epidemic ravaging the country, the sources said nothing will stop the celebration concert from going ahead as planned.
Mnangagwa revealed Maphosa as the man who picked him up from the Mozambique bushes last year in October when he fled possible assassination by Mugabe state security agents.
Maphosa is reported to have chartered a small plane to pick up Mnangagwa and kept him at a safe place until his return to Zimbabwe when he was installed as the President after a successful military coup on Mugabe.
