While all good things come to an end it is sad when it is too soon.
The abrupt ending to Sanganai/Hlanganani after-party dampened the spirits of the tourism expo.
Revelers including tourists had thronged the Zimbabwe international Trade Fair for what was supposed to the biggest party at the expo.
From the stage, sound and lighting it was a colourful, glitz and glam with most people dressed to the nines.
The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority staff were proud hosts decked out in same national dress outfits bearing the popular Zimbabwean bird.
The women, led by ZTA chief executive, Ms Winnie Muchanyuka looked gorgeous from head to toe.
And the ZTA board chairperson Mr Ray Mawerere was also present to add colour to what was already a star-studded event.
Popular businesswoman Zodwa Mkandla and her clique comprising Sicelo Dube also known as Stem Lady in schools and Ntombizodwa Dube of A+ Detergents turned up for the party.
There were many Bulawayo socialites, groupies and wanna-bes present who made the party all the more enjoyable.
While everyone was on the dance floor enjoying themselves the DJ abruptly stopped the music around 10.30pm.
What? The revelers reacted to the sudden stoppage and the ZTA frantically tried to intervene but the police manning the party could not budge.
It was a sad ending to a great party and many wanted an encore but then the police insisted that it was time up.
Anywhere else, there is no party that ends at 10:30 pm not even a school’s promo night.
In fact, this is the time that things start heating up and even in some international night clubs that is the time when revelers trickle in.
The problem was most people expected the party to continue until the next day or at least at midnight!
But the party was good while it lasted!
