Alick Macheso’s Album Launch Postponed Following Government Ban on Public Events Ahead of SADC Summit?
Alick Macheso’s manager, Tich Makahamadze, has allayed fears that the Orchestra Mberikwazvo frontman’s album launch will be postponed, despite the government’s ban on public events ahead of the SADC summit in August.
Macheso is set to launch his album “Kupa Kuturika” at the Alexander Sports Club in Harare on Friday. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has given the event the green light, even though there were initial concerns about the event clashing with the SADC Industrialisation Week.
