Green light for resumption of musical shows

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has given artists the green light to resume live shows on condition that they do not exceed the stipulated number of 50 people.

Handing over musical equipment to Andy Muridzo and Chief Hwenje at State House in Harare yesterday, President Mnangagwa said musicians can now resume live shows provided that they adhere to all Covid-19 protocols.

The Deputy Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation, Tino Machakaire who also attended the event has welcomed the development and implored artists not to abuse the privilege.

Musicians who were present expressed their gratitude and pledged they would do justice to the donation by working hard to entertain their fans

The move comes after Selmor Mtukudzi, the daughter of the late music icon, Oliver Mtukudzi had made an appeal to the president to consider allowing artists to resume live shows.

Musical shows were halted in March last year in a bid to curtail the spread of covid-19.
Chief Hwenje, born Admire Sanyanga Sibanda is the one who sang “ED Pfee” song.
