The function, which will be held at Dandaro Showgrounds, will feature Willom Tight, Roki, Nesto, Mafriq, Dino Mudondo and Tererai Mugwadi in one band.
“These artistes will be using one band. I will be directing the show, which will be recorded so that we produce a documentary under Izwa Music Productions,” Sebede said.
“This is a collective, collaborative effort to foster unity among the artistes and fans which will see us reconnecting as we go down the memory lane.”
Sebede, who has rebranded to Sir Bede, said the South African market was more competitive and professional compared to Zimbabwe hence it was good to use it for exposure.
“I networked extensively and I managed to share the stage with Mi Casa at the Cape Town Big Band Competition,” he said.
Sebede, who arrived in the country last week, revealed that he formed an organisation known as Empowerment directed by Phillip Dexter in South Africa.

“Through this project we are going to host the Afro Feel Festival where artistes from the African continent will converge to celebrate African culture through music and art. Sculptures, clothes and artefacts resembling the beauty of our continent will be exhibited and sold at this high level event to be held later this year,” he said.
The Izwa hit maker said the project was funded by the South African government with the objective of reinforcing the beauty of African culture.
