HIGH-RIDING rapper Holy Ten will this weekend share the stage with renowned singer, dancer-cum-politician Sandra Ndebele-Sibindi at Chigumira open space in Bulawayo's Luveve high-density suburb as they drum up support for the ruling Zanu-PF party.
The free event slated for Sunday morning till 4pm is being organised by the Brian Samuriwo Foundation and will be headlined by a health expo, soccer match and entertainment for adults and children.
Samuriwo is an aspiring MP for Luveve-Emakhandeni constituency under Zanu-PF.
Other artistes to perform at the event are Mawiza, Vinnie King, GTI, Sheilah T, Bad Man, DJ Dynamite, Psycho Tek and DJ Fraize.
This will be Holy Ten's first public appearance after his recent endorsement of President Emmerson Mnangagwa's candidature.
Holy Ten described Mnangagwa as "huchi" (honey) in his endorsement.
"Over the weekend we were in Beitbridge. We saw the developments that are being done at the border post, totally out of this world. We have been in and out of the airport and things are changing.
"There is money that has been availed under the drug and substance abuse mitigation fund, so this is for the youths, this is the change," Holy Ten said.
Sandy, as Ndebele-Sibindi is affectionately known, is running for a local governance seat-in ward 20, Pelandaba-Tshabalala in Bulawayo on a Zanu-PF ticket.
Samuriwo said a health expo to be held on the day was meant to complement the free medical outreaches that he recently spearheaded in the suburbs of Luveve, Emakhandeni and Gwabalanda.
"The foundation empowers youths with skills to be self-sufficient through various programmes that we run in the constituency. However, recently we decided to do something for the elderly as well," Samuriwo said.
"The medical programme runs on a rotational basis whereby we set up a centre in each suburb on given days so that residents can access free health checks and receive free medication.
"We have a team of four doctors and a pharmacist on site and the programme is open to everyone despite political affiliation.
"We will continue running the programme even after the elections."
