In a city where dating apps often feel impersonal and meet-cutes are few and far between, two of Zimbabwe’s most beloved radio voices are betting on something old-school: a room full of singles, a great playlist, and a little bit of magic.
Welcome to the Single Nite Mix—part social experiment, part dance party, and maybe, just maybe, the start of someone’s love story.
Organised by Coyom Events, the gig is set for 11 July 2026 at Number 3 Denmark Road in Milton Park, this isn’t your average night out.
The rules are simple: you must be single, you must be at least 35, and you must be ready to mingle.
No exceptions. No plus-ones with hidden rings. Just hearts on sleeves and hope in the air.
At the helm are two veteran presenters who know a thing or two about keeping an audience engaged—Tich Mataz and Comfort Mbofana (affectionately known as Mbofs).

Together, they’re promising more than just beats; they’re curating an atmosphere where romance could spark between sips and steps on the dancefloor.
“This could be your weekend to find love,” Mataz says in a video promo that’s already setting social media abuzz.
His signature energy leaps through the screen: “Come and mingle—you never know. It begins around 5 pm until late. This Saturday, let’s mix and mingle, singles!”
For many, the invitation feels personal. In a city where loneliness can creep in as quietly as the winter chill, the prospect of a dedicated space for the unattached—and the over-35 crowd, no less—feels both bold and overdue.
It’s the first event of its kind in Harare, and it’s stirring something between curiosity and cautious optimism.
But there’s a catch—literally. Entry costs US$20, and proof of singlehood is implied.
Whether that means showing up alone or leaving your ex’s number at the door, the vibe is clear: this is for the ready, not the hesitant.
The big question now hangs in the Harare air: Will the city’s singles brave the July cold for a chance at warmth?
Or will they stay bundled up at home, wondering what might have been? Either way, Tich Mataz and Mbofs are rolling the dice on love—and come July 11, we’ll know if Harare is ready to fall.
