One deserted the group while the other is on suspension.
But as they say, once homeboys always be homeboys, this holds true of two former Orchestra Mberikwazvo bandmates — Slomo and MaJuice — both nimble footed.
And more than anything else it is the love for dance that binds them together like glue on and off the stage.
Franco Dhaka aka Slomo who now leads the infamous Orchestra Kwazvose has given solace to Selemane Mpochi or simply MaJuice.
This follows MaJuice’s suspension over a series of misdemeanors not least reporting for duty late or not at all.
MaJuice took to his Facebook page to announce his latest move in what appears to be a reunion over a sumptuous lunch.
“At the moment I am okay and safe, the only thing that makes my conscience clear is that I did not quit my job but management worked against me.
“Our loyal fans should get this right because I have been loyal to Macheso even when things were down.
“I was banned from featuring in other artists’ videos by management and I complied with that because the Orchestra Mberikwazvo brand is in my DNA,” he wrote.
“Meanwhile Majuice will feature at Franco Slomo’s show on Independence Day.”
Alick Macheso, told H-Metro that there were issues with the star dancer’s conduct, especially when it came to punctuality issues.
However, MaJuice said his fallout with management started when he reported for a show late in Chiredzi during the Easter holidays.
“I reported late for duty at 1am because I overslept at a lodge where we were staying with the other guys.
“My pay was garnished as a result of that and I thought it was enough punishment for me.
“I was later shocked to receive a call from management telling me that I was suspended and up to now I don’t know when the ban will be lifted,” he told H Metro.
But MaJuice thinks his suspension had nothing to do with reporting for duty late but that there were people within management working against him.
MaJuice is joining forces with Slomo who also left the band in a huff in 2013 and formed Extra Kwazvose.
