Katomeni-Mbofana headlined the all-female event which also saw top-notch performances from Donna N, Lady Tshawe, Vera Chisvo and Mimie Tarukwana at a Bulawayo hotel.
Clad in blue jeans and an African print top, the bare-footed Katomeni-Mbofana showcased well-choreographed dances, sending the whole audience into dance as they sang along to yesteryear hits including BP Yangu Yakwira, Joy, Anenge and Dzidza.
Katomeni, who had been on a music sabbatical, announced her return to the music industry.
“I was busy making babies, that’s why I have been too quiet and I know I have starved many of the good music. I am back now and ready to give my fans good music at its best,” Mbofana said.
The other performers — Donna N, Lady Tshawe, Vera Chisvo and Tarukwana — did not disappoint as they demonstrated why they were part of the line-up.
Meanwhile, drama lovers were taken through the history lesson of the life and rise to power of Tshaka Zulu in a play titled Warrior by Umkhathi at the Bulawayo theatre.
