Get ready for a night where music meets majesty, and romance rules the runway.
He’s the Shona Prince with a silky voice that makes hearts skip. And this Saturday, Takura is about to turn the Miss Universe Zimbabwe finals into his very own love concert.
Set for June 6, 2026, at the Hippodrome, the evening is already being whispered about as the showbiz event of the year.
Think fashion, fierce beauty, and musical fireworks—with Takura riding high off his new EP, ready to serenade a bevy of beauties like only he can.
The crooner, a firm favorite among female fans, will share the stage with Jah Prayzah and melt the room with his greatest love anthems—including Handizvione, Tattoo, and the dreamy Anondida featuring Tamy Moyo.
Expect swoons. Expect screams. Expect the contestants to forget their sash walks for a second.
From 6 PM, eighteen stunning delegates will strut, smize, and battle for the crown. But the real spectacle? That’ll happen both on and off the runway.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more glamorous…
Taking the hosting reins is none other than Zozibini Tunzi—Miss Universe 2019, global icon, and South Africa’s pride.
Industry insiders are calling it a major coup. Her presence doesn’t just raise the bar; it launches Zimbabwe’s finals onto continental superstar level.
We’re talking a red carpet dripping with captains of industry, A-list celebs, and socialites who never miss a photo op. The Hippodrome won’t just be a venue—it’ll be a kingdom of glitz.
The queens in waiting? A stellar lineup of 18 beauties ready for their crowning moment:
Jemina Mandemwa, Mona-Lisa Dube, Kudzaishe Mwamuka, Roseanna Hall, Ruvimbo Njomboro, Charmaine Mabvundwe, Nomaqhikiza Mokoni, Cheryl Sambadzai, Adelle Chinamasa, Tatenda Madzinga, Shelly Bent, Kuvakwashe Mujakachi, Malaika Mushandu, Paris Huni, Sindiso Ndlovu, Nicole Nyawera, Virginia Nyambe, and Brunette Makanyiso.
Expect tears, triumphs, and a host who needs zero introduction. Oh, and did we mention Takura might just sing someone into a happy cry?
