BULAWAYO – Popular Zimdancehall chanter Winky D resumes shows next week when he features in a gig set to draw the curtain on the 2023 Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) in Bulawayo.

The Ijipita hitmaker, real name Wallace Chirumiko, will be the star of the show organised by Harris Hotel and 2 Kings Entertainment.

The mouth-watering sixth edition of the Bulawayo shutdown is set for April 29 at The Boundary at Queens Sports Club.

Winky D will perform alongside South African artistes DJ Stokie and Lady Du.

The gig will be dreadlocked chanter’s first public performance since February this year when he was forced to take a mini sabbatical from public performances following police disruptions at a show in Damview, Chitungwiza.

Other local acts set to light up the stage during the Bulawayo show include Jah Signal, Levels, Fantan, Noreen Moria, Boss Pumacool, Bazooker and Sandra Ndebele.
