Ba Shupi’s manager, Wadzanai Gumbo, said that they were excited at the opportunity.
“We are humbled to have our work being pushed and recognised in all corners of the world. We have been working very hard and being chosen to
represent the country is an honour. All we ask for is the country to rally its support behind us,” she said.
Gumbo said, while they were happy to represent the country, they were also looking for sponsorship.
“We are ready to raise our flag high in Denmark and have been rehearsing non-stop from the beginning of the year until we leave. We are preparing a world-class performance, which truly represents Zimbabwe,” she said.
