The musician, who has for a long time concentrated on rural areas, said he will be focusing on shows in Harare.
Madzibaba was speaking on the sidelines of his show at Nyaguwa Gardens in Dzivaresekwa on Friday evening.
The Tsamba singer told NewsDay, promoters had been sidelining him and that he was left with no option, but to perform in rural areas.
“Promoters that used to support me have since shifted their attention to other businesses resulting in us not staging shows in Harare for some time,” he said.
Madzibaba admitted numbers continue to drop at his shows, but said this year he has high hopes that the situation will improve soon.
The Friday show was poorly attended and the granddad of sungura performed in an almost empty venue.

Madzibaba took a break around 2am, but was forced to abort the show as revellers left the show in droves.
Madzibaba, who has groomed a number of artistes, most notable among them Alick Macheso, said he was putting final touches to a six-track album that would be completed by the end of February.
