Sound masters Judgment Yard and Mighty Ducks will spice up the event. This is the second time for King Shango to perform in the country after his debut visit in 2010 when he staged shows in Harare and Chitungwiza.
Show organisers said everything was in place for the show. “We are excepting a good show. Capleton has promised to do his best and has committed himself to a busy schedule during the tour. He fell in love with Zimbabwean fans on his debut tour,” said one of the organisers.
