The hit comedy show will be presented by Jerome Weathers (Sam Monro), Mandape Mandape played by Tongai Lesley Makawa and Kudzaishe Mushayahembe (Michael Kudakwashe).
It is produced by Mutheu Maitha-Bomba.
The Gothenburg International Book Fair is one of the largest exhibitions on literary arts in the world. This year’s edition of the book fair opened on Thursday and ends tomorrow.
The Sweden tour came barely a month after the Zambezi News TV team performed at the Comics Choice Awards in South Africa in August. Media liaison officer for the production Tafadzwa Sharaunga said the comedy was on an international roll.
“The show was performed live at the third Annual South African Comics Choice Awards on Friday, August 24, 2013 at The Teatro at Monte Casino, Johannesburg.

“The show has now attained international act status,” he said. Zambezi News TV also did well locally when it attracted a huge crowd at the Shoko Festival Comedy Night in Harare last week.
“The much-anticipated Season Two of the comedy is set for release within two months,” Sharaunga said.
Created by two of Zimbabwe’s pioneering creative minds, Monro and Makawa, Zambezi News TV hilariously deals with everything from race to sex, from politics to sport and from the land reform programme to hip hop music.
