A whole lot of you couldn’t wait till October for Jacaranda so we have something planned for you this JUNE….Tickets are selling NOW - Gather your tribe and lets Go !!!!
Left Harare on a solo ride this morning and arrived in Vic Falls at 3PM just in time for a Zambezi on the Zambezi. I love this country called Zimbabwe. Absolutely magical. Let’s weekend !!!!
So one day
@_tinonyandoro
called and said he wanted to shoot me on my bike 🤷🏾 why - only he knew !! but yea the brother knows his stuff. He made me wake up at at 5 Am for this shoot 🤣Thank you for your talent brother.
Today we left Harare and spent the day with
@terrymap1
and wow …… the hospitality was amazing, the gango was on point….well done Terry and thank you for the amazing hospitality, I wish you nothing but the very best. Next time we are coming to camp paseri pegazebo apo. 🙌🏿🙌🏿
This is
@Axciljefferies
he has been raising Zimbabwe’s flag high all over the world and taking the podium many many times.I met him and his dad some years back and after that I gained a lil brother,I would love to see us celebrate him and many others for their good work. Thanks X
A few friends and I spent 3 nights in Mana Pools,Zimbabwe, I couldn’t share the pics,here coz there is ZERO network there and you really don’t need to be in touch with the rest of the world while you are out there, anyway
@Zimparks
and African Bush Camps hosted us.A thread.
It’s been 12 years,in my opinion looking at his catalogue and having watched him perform a few times. Sam Mtukudzi was on his way to properly be a much bigger Nzou than his father. If you haven’t listened to his music, give it an ear and see what I am talking about. He was 22.
The boys love the bikes..... One asked to “drive” it so I said he can sit on it for now, when he gets his license he should find me. His name is Munyaradzi and he wants to be a soccer star when he is done with school....🏍🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
Victoria Falls is so ready to welcome visitors from all over the world again, from the Aiport to the businesses that form the amazing tourism driven ecosystem. We had an amazing rally and I would encourage fellow Zimbabweans to make plans and visit,it’s important that we do.
A week before my birthday,
@TinoNyandoro
made me ride out at 5 AM to do this shoot. Creatives like him see the finished product before it’s done so I just had to follow instructions. If you need a professional photographer in Harare who respects time etc. Tino is your man.
I rode solo from Harare, Zimbabwe to The magic kingdom of Eswathini 🇿🇼🇸🇿 i will have to do a thread about this ride at some point.I have been to Swaziland for music related business this is the first time for the Swazi Bike Rally. Its right up there on the bucket list. Now its ✅
Did 610 miles = 980 Km this weekend from Harare to Vic Falls….. it’s been a good weekend it’s now time to ride about 900 KM back to Harare. Thank you Victoria Falls. It’s been amazing…. ✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿 🏍🏍🏍🏍
@ZtaUpdates
I love it when we get these gears going.
@marcusgora
and the boys
@Mokoomba
are ready to entertain the world live from Victoria Falls today. Let’s GO !!!!!!
You don’t always need a perfect plan, sometimes all you need is a full tank, an open road, tsamba yekufambisa 😀 and a destination like Nyanga,Zimbabwe.
Thank you so much to all the partners and sponsors that made
@jacarandamusicf
possible , Thank you to the
#SJMF
team for your love, dedication and drive for excellence, Thank you to YOU for accepting the invitation to celebrate life with us. The City - The People - The Music 🇿🇼
He would have been 70 today. Legends are ordinary people who become great by their great commitment to doing good.The Influence,power and respect that he had was not what drove him but he loved people and genuinely sort to see lives changed,music allowed him to do that.

So it’s
@gamuchete
birthday today and she is crazy about bikes but ..how about we get her to drive one amazing car from
@hyundaizimbabwe
for her birthday. So
@hyundaizimbabwe
if we get 2 k people to follow your page can we get a car for a day for her birthday ?
#hyundaizim
He would have been 68 today. Great people aren't born. They're ordinary people who become great by their great commitment.The Influence,power and respect that he had was not what drove him but he loved people and genuinely sort to see lives changed,music allowed him to do that.
A quick short ride to Lions Head Dam Shamva last week led to this. This is about 50 Km from Harare on the Shamva road , they have very good space for a braai, take your own poison and enjoy the scenery. US$3 gets you in.

8 years today - “Every man has got his day when he is down and out and every women she has known that hour when she full of doubt. And every child has known that time with darkness when not a word or a ready smile can steady the ground.”Chiwoniso Maraire
got this idea as I was eating on the plane....and I thought if we can eat 34 000 feet up here why can’t we have a show up here....made a call to the team at FastJet and they loved it. thanks to
@fastjet
for being the perfect partner for this one...
@TukuOfficial
@ngomanehosho
I used to listen
@Prime_Circle
as a kid, I never thought I would one day meet them but yesterday I put on a show for them in harare and they asked me if I was keen on playing with them.I said HELL YEA!! My bass and I can out of retirement last night 😃Loved every minute ✌🏿🔥
I have heard so many guitar covers of Neria and this one is officially the best one I have heard so far.
@Helenguitargirl
you are a gift to us and may you continue to give life through your music. We look forward to you coming to Zimbabwe. 🙌
@TukuOfficial
@ngomanehosho
So are your 9 year old sons also requesting meetings or its just mine 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ especially after you just been with him.... I really thought I was in trouble and I was worried for a minute. I have a meeting with Mr Matthew Wanyanya today, wish me luck. 😅
We have carefully curated this lineup for your pleasure.A huge shout out to all our partners who have made this possible,without them this celebration of life through music wouldn’t be this spectacular.Get your tickets & we look forward to seeing you in a few weeks time.
I am still yet to listen to an album that can match this masterpiece. EVERY song is magical. I know I have tweeted this before but mmmmmm Chiwoniso and the whole band gave their hearts into this album. My most favorite album under the sun.... yes under the sun..it’s that good!
Thank you so much for making
#carpediem
a JUMP, my team and I appreciate your support. Without your support all our events would be pointless. Are you ready
@jacarandamusicf
is LOADING!!!!! last night was 🔥🔥but JACARANDA music festival is out here doing press ups right now 💀
The older I get the more I value my minutes, my hours, my days,my time!! We don’t have as much time as we think we do. Nzou said it “ Hatina nguva yatinofunga kuti tinayo!!” He was right. Value those that respect your time.
#waltersez
I was taught music by the very best. Lost
@hughmasekela
2 years ago and
@TukuOfficial
a year ago on the same day 23rd of January.They taught me without holding anything back.I miss them both incredibly and I will celebrate you daily. I will Love,Learn and Teach.
#waltersez
I was at Pakare Paye today. Will be back here with the rest of the bikers on Sunday for the Marathon.We won’t be running as bikers but we will be cheering the runners on 😃. If you haven’t been to Pakare Paye before, this Sunday will be a good first time.
#tukumarathon
I took this image just before they went on stage together at Standard Bank Joy of Jazz festival doing a show I had coproduced.This was one of the most memorable days of my life.Two of the most iconic African music legends.They taught me to love to learn and to teach.
#waltersez
Stanbic Bank Jacaranda Music Festival 2023 will be a real Bioscope.
@ngomanehosho
is cooking up our best festival yet. 6-8 October- Old Hararians Sports club will be the place to be. Submit your leave forms cos you won’t make it to work on Monday the 9th 😂
I love Zimbabwe and I choose to highlight the good about her, it doesn’t mean I am blind to the negatives but I choose daily to see the positives about Zim and we have plenty, just in case you have never watched a Zimbabwean sunset,here is small clip.

fast forward to 2024, I am happy for you and excited for your future and the future is now. Your talent will open the doors for you but its your good character that will keep you in the room therefore never arrive,enjoy the journey, always love, learn and teach. much respect ✊🏿
The last time I was in Bulawayo, I went to Smoke House and there was a brother on the decks. He had me on my feet the whole night. I found out his name is
@RyanSynth
. I would love to hear him play again, May have to do a show just so he can come to Harare and make people dance.
The GOOD NEWS is that ticket prices for
@jacarandamusicf
will remain at $20 for a day pass & $50 for a weekend pass.This is made possible thanks to our partners who have come through and made sure we dance. We couldn’t have done it without their support. Show them love 🔥🔥🔥
Yesterday we started building the stage for
@jacarandamusicf
,it’s been 2 years since the last time we presented the festival this way.we are happy to be back.Looking forward to seeing a lot of you there. Tickets are selling now from Techtools Avondale. +263 7 72665556 for info🙌🏿
For 17 years I played bass, I was part of 4 different bands in that space of time and I played for Celebration Choir the longest,i love to produce live music events now all because of the time I spent on stage as a musician. I had no idea back then that I would end up here 😃😃
Rode to Vic Falls over two days last year. So next Thursday I will have breakfast in Harare, lunch in Bulawayo and Dinner in Vic Falls …why not 🤷🏾🤷🏾

If you want to sample the very best in Zim music play Ancient Voices by Chiwoniso Maraire. It also has some of the best musicians on it. Mwendi Chibindi on vocals, Andy Brown on Guitars, Ian Hillman on Bass, Sam Mataure on drums,Keith Farquharson on Keys & Adam Chisvo on perc. 🇿🇼
One day I will do a thread about
@jacarandamusicf
and all the other music work I do. One thing is for sure I love producing live events and I can’t wait for us to be able to experience the unmatched energy that comes from gathering together in one place dancing the night away.🇿🇼
I asked a newspaper salesmen that I see on my way to work daily why he is always happy and in a good mood? , he said he is grateful for the gift of life because so many others didn’t wake up today. They say “in life you can be anything you want but don’t be ungrateful” 🇿🇼
So much respect for this brother here.Sam Mataure is arguably one of the best drummers in Africa.If you love African music you have probably danced to his beat at least once, recorded with O Mtukudzi,Hugh Mazekela,Ringo, Zonke,Judith Sephuma, Thomas Mapfumo,Miriam Makeba etc 🤘🏿🙌🏾
I can’t get enough of this one 😂😂😂Hapana kana basa ratakaita on this day…..the mood for the day was “all play and no work”
we ended up going to Gava for Sadza then home. Happy birthday SaManyanga
@TukuOfficial
Lord knows how much you are missed by so many.
#waltersez
I really need to sit down and edit my footage, i did a solo ride from Joburg to harare through Beitbridge via Gwanda, Bulawayo then Harare on Wednesday, I am learning how to use my new cameras, so yes bro I will share some content as soon as I stop riding and start editing 😂
The legend Sam Mataure. Worked with this man for so many years and learnt a lot from him too, Samanyanga and Samataure introduced me to Bra Hugh Masekela and that was a life changing moment for me. Much love and respect to Sam Mataure.
One of my daughters 21st birthday presents is ready. She is 7 now and by the time she is 21 she will appreciate this so much more. Thanks to Ziad at Mystique Jewels Avondale for a job well done. We have to intentionally plan an epic future for us and our kids.
#waltersez
When you make a commitment to someone you build hope, when you keep it you build trust. People generally won’t trust you because you don’t keep your own word. Strive to be a man or woman of your word. Have a good weekend good people. 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Will always treasure the time I spent with you and the lessons you taught me.Thank you for showing me the ability to love,to learn and to teach.Your legacy is set in stone.Thank you Dr Oliver Mutukudzi & Dr Hugh Masekela who passed away on the same day one year apart.
#waltersez
Her name is Chipo..no not like that Chipo.....it’s Chipo.... short for Chipoko.....✌🏿 if the baby is truly yours you get the privilege to give her your name .. Waibata. Have a good weekend.
