Speaking from South Africa, Sungura Masters founder, Masotha Nzou said they left the country in May and will be in the neighbouring country till the staging of musical events is allowed in Zimbabwe.

“We left Zimbabwe on May 29 with our dancers and have been performing here where we have a series of shows lined up across the country. The atmosphere is great although the weather is chilly, but nonetheless, people are appreciating our performances as they’re coming in numbers to these shows.

“We’ll only return to Zimbabwe when the arts sector is fully operational,” said Nzou.

He said through the shows, they are learning a lot from other artistes on how to adapt to the new normal and keep in touch with their fans. – @mthabisi_mthire
