The fiesta featured several top choirs and artistes including guest performer, music superstar Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi, who took to the stage on Sunday night.
Tuku put up a spirited performance with his smooth sing-along songs such as Todini and Hear Me, Lord, sending the audience into a frenzy.
Zimpraise chief executive officer, Joseph Madziyire expressed gratitude to the huge congregation that attended the fiesta, before rewarding choir director Wellington Kwenda with a vehicle for his immense contribution to the group’s success.
