AFTER kwaito group the Teddy Bears and DJ Cleo split two years ago, many thought it was the end of the road, but the trio is back with a bang with new songs.

The group known for Cleo’s yesteryear hit tracks Follow Me and Hlokoloza – in which they featured Sandra Ndebele’s 2015 track – Mayikhale – have released two songs, Mellow Yellow and Bhadala.

Speaking about their return, one of the group members, Kheso said they had released the new tracks to announce their return in the showbiz scene.
Kheso paid tribute to DJ Cleo for mentoring them saying he had greatly shaped their careers. He said they were looking forward to performing in Zimbabwe next month.

“We hope to spend the festive season with our Zimbabwe fans as these are some of the people we’re targeting to entertain. We’re in talks with promoters there to have a show in Bulawayo and it seems promising,” said Kheso.

The Teddy Bears were billed to perform at Sandra Ndebele’s Izenzo album launch last year but failed to attend, disappointing many fans who had hoped to watch the group share the stage with the dance queen.

“Working with Sandra Ndebele was a unique experience as she’s one talented artiste and dancer. We were looking forward to being part of her album launch but the problem was with the promoter of the show who failed to facilitate our travel and accommodation arrangements in time.

“However, we’re still will to perform there with Sandra.”
