MZEKEZEKE IS MAKING A COMEBACK

Just last night, I was complaining to my other half that the once-exciting kwaito industry is now staid and boring, so much so that a Namibian artist won the Best Kwaito category at the 2007 Channel O Music Awards.

But Lo and behold, the gimmicky knight in shining armour, Mzekezeke aka Mzakes Man, has just ordered another set of bright Dickies overalls from his neighbourhood tailor, which can only mean one thing: he is finally making his long overdue comeback. The masked one, who broke box office records with kasi bangers such as “S’guqa Ngamadolo”, “Akekh’Ugogo” and “AmaBEE”, will be unleashing his crazy antics at the launch of Ekurhuleni’s 2010 Business Plan on March 8, 2008.

The big fan park at Germiston will feature Premier Soccer League teams Kaizer Chiefs and Free State Stars. That game will be watched live by soccer lovers and before the game begins, fans will get a chance of mingling with Mzekezeke and other stars like Nhlanhla Nciza, Lira, Skwatta Kamp, Pro, Kabelo and Arthur from around 10am.

I can’t blame the savvy proprietors of TS Records, Sbu Leope and TK Nciza, for encouraging Mzakes to make a comeback as record sales have been drier than usual at their famed stable since the departure of Ntando and Brown Dash.
