. . . nimble footed dancer to feature at Macheso’s homecoming gig on Saturday
Staff Writer
Orchestra Mbeikwazvo lead dancer — MaJuice — is now back with the Orchestra Mberikwazvo after spending weeks on suspension.
MaJuice real name Selemane Mpochi was suspended for turning up late for work on a number of occasions.
He was missing on the line up for several gigs forcing him to make a public apology on his socials.
It appears the management has decided to lift the suspension and allow MaJuice another chance to rock the fans.
And MaJuice is expected on the performing line up this Saturday at the much-hyped Alick Macheso’s Homecoming gig at Aquatic Complex on Saturday.
Band manager Tich Makahamadze dropped call when reached for comment and then his phone remained busy at the time of publishing.
However, show promoter Partson Chimbodza of Chipaz Promotions hinted that MaJuice was allowed back in the fold.
“I think it is going to be a big one since I am told MaJuice is now back with the group,” Chipaz said.
The show has the hallmarks of a thriller considering that Macheso has kept it a family affair.
All the performing artistes on the line up are related by blood, one way or the other.
For instance, there is Tatenda and Esau who are Macheso brothers, then there is Tindo and Mark, the Ngwazi brothers, there is also Peter and Tongai Jnr Moyo also brothers.
The only odd one out perhaps if you want to stretch the imagination is Nicholas Zakaria. But again, he is an elder to Macheso.
The two worked as Khiama Boys back then before Macheso left to form the Orchestra Mberikwazvo, the band that has backed him since.
The beauty of the concert is that it is fostering those relationships in song and dance.
