Mare said she wanted to reassure her fans that she was back in the groove and would be releasing a number of videos soon.
Last weekend, she performed at the Southern Africa Regional United Nations Games held at the University of Zimbabwe.
“I want my fans to know that I am back home and, in fact, I am back with a bang. The main highlight to look forward to from me is the Ngoro video featuring John Cole, the Moto Ngaubvire video with Mabelreign Girls High and, most importantly, my collaboration with Derek Mpofu on a song titled Dzoka Kumba, produced by Mono Mukundu,” she said.
Mare said she had was set to launch her DVD soon and go on a national tour, where she will interact with her fans in November.
“I have a show on October 8 with Derek Mpofu at Alliance Francais and I am currently organising more shows and a national tour,” she said.

Mare is a Zimbabwean Afro-fusion songwriter and singer.
She rose to national stardom in 2010 when she released her second album, Summer of Love.
The album, which was produced by a United Kingdom recording label, Krunchie Productions, carried the hit song Catch Me When I Fall. The song made waves both locally and internationally.
Born to Enita Charewa Chamboko, Mare attended St Dominics and Hermain Gmeiner schools.
She attributed her success in music to hard work and determination, without which, she said, she would not have reached such heights in her music career.
She said she grew up in an RnB culture in the UK and consequently adopted that genre when she fell in love with music. Her new sound, she said, reflected her origins and experiences.
The new Afro-fusion genre carried the strains of jazz, gospel and traditional Zimbabwean mbira.
However, the death of her mother four years ago became the turning point in her life, which made her look back to her roots and spurred her to establish her own distinct sound.
