ZIMBABWE'S own Michael Jackson, Prince Dube, who was based in South Africa is back in the country and is ready to dazzle people with his moves.
He left the country in 2010 but is now back and expects to announce his biggest comeback next month through live shows.
The man, who says he is a robortinic break-dancer, is eager to showcase his talent and expects to stamp his authority on the dance scene again.
The break-dancer wears a full Michael Jackson kit and moves in ways many think were buried with the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
The 26-year-old dancer from Pumula says he hopes to reconcile with his old friend Priscilla Taurai from the group Girls La Musica whom he referred to as "his Janet Jackson".
"I want my Janet back, she helped me a lot in the business and now I am mature and if we can revisit our heydays Zimbabwe will be entertained," he said.
The dancer is not new in the country as he has shared the stage with some of the popular names in the industry.
From 2008 to 2010 he curtain raised for big acts such as Alick Macheso, the late Tongai Dehwa Moyo and Roki.
He also featured in road shows that were promoting local soapie, Small House Saga.
In South Africa, Dube worked with well known musicians and worked in 36 promotional events for companies like MTN and Willards, among others. When South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup Dube was also a dancer in the Fifa adverts and featured on performances that where aired on SABC 1 and 2.
He also featured on "So You Think You Can Dance" a popular dance competition.
Dube said his resume shows how talented and on demand he was down South.
