“This show is a great boost for tourism in Kariba, a potential tourism (hub), hence the coming in of Camidoh will awaken the sleeping giant. We have partnered tourism players in Kariba to present a total package for the period before and after the gig.”

Boss Ringo said the coming in of Camidoh will create exposure to local artistes who are also set to learn a lot from Camidoh, from stage performance to management.
