At a show that featured the likes of Sulumani Chimbetu, Blessing Shumba, Fungisai Zvakavapano-Mashavave, Mahendere Brothers, Jeys Marabini and Tanga Wekwa Sando, the 19-year-old musician made her presence felt through a good performance.
The event was dubbed the “New Year Gig” at Geza Farm in Sanyati.
Speaking to NewsDay after her performance, Machakwa said she would ensure that the attention she is getting on stage would not sway her from her studies.
“We have some upcoming artistes who end up losing their focus if they get into music, but I am not going to do that. I will first finish my education then venture into music full time,” she said.
She will be going for her Upper Sixth form this year at Rimuka High 1 in Kadoma.
Machakwa surprised over a thousand merrymakers who thronged the venue with her polished act.
