South African diva, Bonang Matheba, popularly known as Queen B in entertainment circles will be heading to Zimbabwe later this week. The popular television host and radio personality, who has been hogging the limelight for all the wrong reasons of late after her alleged affair with DJ Zinhle's man - AKA will be coming to host former Miss Zimbabwe - Vanessa "Queen Vee" Sibanda's private birthday party.
The strictly by invite "All-White celebrity party" being hosted by Queen Vee's music stable - United Nations of Africa (UNA) - will be held at The Venue in Avondale, Harare on Friday evening. Bonang is expected to touch down at the Harare International Airport at about 4PM on Friday, departing on Saturday.
Entertainment will be provided by South Africa-based Zimbabweans, Buffalo Souljah and Nadia Nakai, Liquideep's Ziyon and South African rapper Anatii. On the decks will be locals, Phat Beatz, DJ Flevah, Otis Fraser, Rax and Raydizz.
Speaking from her South Africa base, Sibanda, a musician who turned 27 last Saturday, said she was hosting the party to celebrate her life with those she has worked with.
"This is just a celebration of life as well as a way of saying thank you to those who've contributed to my success story in one way or another," Sibanda said.
The former model who is married to Croco Motors boss, Farai Matsika said she had worked with all the artistes who will perform on Friday and would have wanted South Africa's Da Les who featured in one of her songs to attend the bash.
"I'd have wanted Da Les to come for my party but he unfortunately will not be coming as he has gigs elsewhere," she said. Her celebration began much earlier with a promotion last week where she gave away $1,000 to a fan who danced to one of her tracks – One Chance which features Ziyon.
Also speaking from South Africa, UNA entertainment boss – Buffalo Souljah (real name Thabani Ndlovu) said all was set for the party with performing artistes confirming their slots. "The whole line up has been confirmed and the artistes are excited to be coming to Zimbabwe. This will be Nadia Nakai and Anatii's first time to perform there," Buffalo said.
He said Queen Vee had chosen Bonang, who has over 1,2million followers on Twitter, to host her party as she was someone she could relate to. "Bonang is someone Queen Vee looks up to, especially her success story. She's a millionaire who rose to the top by herself. Queen is inspired by her. "This is why it made sense for us to affiliate with such a brand."
As if the star-studded line up is not enough, it seems top South Africa events' organiser, choreographer and Idols SA judge, Somizi "Somgaga" Mhlongo will not be missing the party for anything as he will likely be tagging along with Bonang. Somizi, a close friend of Bonang has indicated interests to visit Zimbabwe to party with Bonang and Queen Vee.
Buffalo revealed plans to make Queen Vee's "All White celebrity party" an annual event, similar to the white parties DJ Zinhle throws in Bulawayo. "This party is certainly not a once off one as we'll make it an annual event where we host big gigs to celebrate life. These events will be for the who's who in Zimbabwe."
