People will be able to watch a soccer match between musicians and soccer legends at Sakubva Stadium for free during the second of day of the festival.
Speaking to NewsDay, Zaha director Killer Zivhu said the organisation decided to launch its housing association on the same day and musicians will first entertain fans before they take to the pitch.
“We have decided to launch our housing association on the day of the social soccer match and musicians will first entertain people before they get to play football,” said Zivhu.
He said Zaha would continue working with different musicians in future when launching their schemes.
Recently the organisation invited Tryson Chimbetu, Nicholas Zakaria and Matheus Mhere at Mushayavanhu Business Centre in Gutu where they donated a three-roomed house to an 81-year-old widow.
Patson Chimbodza of Chipaz Promotions said he was happy with his partnership with Zaha that would give music lovers in Mutare a lifetime opportunity to watch the musicians on stage and on the soccer field.
