Tour spokesperson, Tendai Chakamanga, yesterday said the forthcoming show was necessitated by public demand.
“Winky D returns to Australia by public demand for performances in Melbourne and Perth on 28 and 29 October respectively,” he said, adding that the Melbourne show was scheduled for Eden Bar, while the Perth Gig will be held at Osborne Park Community Hall.
Chakamanga said Winky D’s tour followed on his Australian debut in 2010.
3T International promoting company director, Tafara Chakamanga, called on Zimbabweans in Australia and other nationals to come and witness “the Zimbabwean musical icon” on stage.
“Winky D’s music cuts across racial and religious barriers and all will get value for their money,” he said.
Speaking through his manager, Bartholomew Vera, the chanter promised revellers a polished act.
