THE Beverly Sibanda "gospel crusade" in Bulawayo has been cancelled as the dance queen is fully booked at the ongoing Harare International Carnival with performances tomorrow and on Saturday.
Bev, head of the Sexy Angels "church", was pencilled to perform at Club Forty40 on Saturday night.
The exotic dancer unceremoniously announced that she had quit the showbiz industry in January after being convinced by Prophet Walter Magaya of the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries to join his church.
After her much publicised repentance and declarations that she would never return to the dance floor, Bev as Sibanda is known by her fans, made a startling u-turn returning to the dance floor.
She declared that she wanted to see if Prophet Magaya had exorcised her of the dance demon.
Bev's comeback show in Harare last month reportedly attracted many fans, with the dance queen bringing back her highly controversial bottle dance that leaves little to the imagination.
In an interview, Bev's manager Harpers Mapimhidze said they would come to Bulawayo next month.
"We are no longer coming to Bulawayo and I know the fans there will be disappointed. The thing is that we have been booked fully during this week as there is high demand for Bev at the ongoing Harare International Carnival," he said.
Mapimhidze said due to their dancing prowess at last year's edition of the carnival, they were called back to perform this year at the Samba Night and Street March.
"People are looking forward to seeing perform Bev at the Samba Night on Friday. They were impressed by her during last year's edition of the carnival.
"On Saturday she will be in an open truck dancing to music during the Street March," he said.
Show promoter DJ Mzoe said they are frantically working to find a replacement for Bev on Saturday night.
"The Bev show has been cancelled as she is involved with the Carnival. We are thinking of rescheduling the show for next week, but we will see. We want to rope in the Blue Virgins as a replacement but we are still in talks with them," he said.
