Popular Zora music maestro Leonard Karikoga Zhakata is expected to perform for free at United Family International Church (UFIC) Masvingo`s Spiritual Conference at the Civic Centre.
UFIC Masvingo`s Pastor Joseph Muzhuzha confirmed the development.
“We are going to have our spiritual conference from 01 up to 04 November. I have spoken at length with Bishop Zhakata. He assured me that he will be coming to perform for free during this conference,” said Pastor Muzhuzha.
Zhakata has since given his life to Christ and is now a renowned minister of the word with the Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa-led UFI Church.
Undoubtedly one of Zimbabwe`s music superpowers, the 50-year-old Zhakata made history when he became the youngest Zimbabwean musician to sell more than 100 000 copies for an album at the tender age of 26.
This was after one of his debut albums, Maruva enyika sold more than 120 000 copies.
The humble Mugove hitmaker has participated in many charity programmes to do with such issues as cultural and gender based violence.
As a musician cum Pastor, the Zora king is coming to the Civic Centre to preach the word to the people of Masvingo through music.
