Upcoming artiste expresses concern over music centralization By Ivan Zhakata

AN UPCOMING artiste has expressed concern over the promotion of music and upcoming musicians saying it is centralized in Harare. Donvert Snippet real name Donvert Chaora said everything that promotes music is centralized in Harare and it becomes difficult for rising stars to penetrate through the showbiz industry. The 23-year-old hip-hop and afro-pop singer said the media should be decentralized and be able to incorporate everyone regardless of where he or she hails from. “The music industry in Zimbabwe is centralized and you know everything that promotes music is in Harare,” said Snippet. “All I am saying is that the media should be decentralized if we are to reach our musical destination and the other is artistes should behave more like investors, that is, the more you invest in your music the greater the results. “As artistes we must also push our projects to the limit if we are to be played on air internationally and we must submit our music to internationally recognized media houses,” said Snippet. Snippet hopped into the music industry in 2007 before doing his first recording in 2009 with Perfect Madzima. “From then I did multiple projects to date and my He said he was inspired by his Manager Abel Mavura projections considering the fact that Zimbabwe is full who apart from music used some of his money to of talent is that I will be one of the best artistes if I open a charity organization and his parents through stay focused and keeping originality like not trying to their encouragement. copy anyone in the music industry,” Snippet said. Internationally Snippet was inspired by Lil Wayne an The Economics student at Midlands State University American rapper who is his favorite superstar.

5 SOCIAL ISSUES Children’s future under threat By Courage Pahla

IT is said that children are the future of tomorrow, it might be in oblivion as many of them struts around corners of nightclubs being vendors at most renowned pubs in the high density suburbs of Harare. A cause for concern is that selling cigarettes, eggs and condoms has become common parlance for children mostly in Kuwadzana and Mbare. Their lives are among ordinary lives that remain unnoticed. Prince Thole has sold all these to survive life as a 13-year-old orphan to earn school fees and worries about her grandmother left behind at their home in Kuwadzana. In the night, Thole sits on cardboard box to scavenge children aged below 15 who are estimated to have lost for his customers most of them who are drunkards at their mothers. his top spot Sun Set night club in Kuwadzana.

Rauchy dancer urges colleagues to be moral By Ivan Zhakata

A FAMOUS female raunchy dancer Pindurai Mwakurudza has urged her fellow colleagues in the arts industry to be moral by abiding to their ethical conducts and expressed grief over temptations they are facing in the industry. Lady Vicious as she is affectionately known in the arts industry told Celebrity Magazine that many female dancers are mistaken to be prostitutes and this is tarnishing their image as they are professional dancers only. Lady Vicious is the leader of Blue Virgins, a Harare based female dance group composed of five dancers. She said people in the arts industry need to be educated and be enlightened that dancing in pubs does not mean a person is a sex worker but it is a job just like any other job. The raunchy dancer said even though there are many temptations like commercial sex working especially among female dancers, they need to be made alert that dancing in clubs is not marketing themselves but showcasing their talent. “There are so many temptations especially among us female dancers like prostitution,” Lady Vicious said. “Nowadays there is a thin line between stripping and dancing and in some circumstances a man can approach a dancer and ask her to strip for a fee which is not good. So as female dancers we need to be principled because it tarnishes our image,” she said. The Amakhosi Theatre member also said that even though they are facing many enticements, they have to be prepared to resist them and not just falling into the trap easily as this will portray women as cheap. She said most female dancers are moving from dancing to stripping and then to prostitution. Lady Vicious also said female dancers need to be educated through arts workshops so that they get to know why they are dancing.

DANIEL Iluki, the founder of VIP in Christ Ministries situated in Waterfalls near Zindoga shops is a Congolese man who has been living in Zimbabwe for almost ten years now. Born on the 17th of March,1978 in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a family of seven (six boys and a girl), Iluki did his primary and secondary education in his native country before coming to Zimbabwe in 2005. He is a holder of a Diploma in Theology from Portable Bible School of Naoith in DRC and a theology certificate from the School of Christ in Zambia. Celebrity Magazine caught up with Prophet Iluki who narrated his prophetic journey to where he is now. “ Prophet Iluki is someone who was called by God at a very young age in early 1988,” he said. “I started seeing visions while I was in Primary school but I was born a Catholic with no pentecostal background. Then, I did not understand the visions, not until in 1991 when I changed from a Catholic Church to a Pentecostal one,” he added. The man of God told Celebrity Magazine that he was baptised at the age of 13, an age which was not tolerated in DRC at that time. He was the first boy to be baptised at a tender age but the Congolese community considered a person to be fit for baptism from the age of 20. “There (at the Pentecostal Church) I was the first to be baptised at a very young age which was very impossible and since then I became a christian going to church every Sunday until in 1994 when I went to Uvira from Bukavu where I stayed and there I was staying with Pastor Papa Fabrice,” said the man of God. “It was during my stay at Papa Fabrice’s that I received the Holy Ghost at a river where I was sent by Fabrice to fetch some stones for building. I was frustrated and wondering how someone could task me to do dirty work but I convinced Top: Prophet Daniel Iluki preaching. myself that I will do it anyway.

Many people who gathered around to witness including Papa Fabrice could not believe what transpired and thought that something was not right with me,” Iluki said with a smile on his face. Prophet Iluki went on to say that he could not recall what transpired as he was in an ecstatic frenzy. He also said that even though he had received the prophetic gift in 1994 he did not know and went back to his family home where he continued going back to church as always until in 1998 as it was unlawful to be baptised and be ordained as a pastor at his age. “In 1997 while I was doing my final year at High School I became a pastor after a certain pastor called Martin Pilolo came and preached citing 1 Corinthians 1 verse 17 to 23 which was so powerful to me that I began to understand what I was called to do by God. “The man was a revivalist and not a pentecostalist and he ordained me to be a pastor. He became my Spiritual father before he disappeared.

The site also suggests that the Komarom plant is manufacturing the Nokia X, previously dubbed Nokia Normandy in multiple colours. Further, the site claims that Nokia X will not feature any Google Services or even support the Play Store, which is very much in-line with earlier reports. An earlier report indicated that Nokia, following the lead of Amazon, has been working on a fully-tailored or forked version of Android for the Normandy program. On Thursday, Nokia’s much-awaited Android-based smartphone, the Nokia X (aka Normandy, A110, and RM-980) was seemingly revealed in four different purported live images, which showcased some of the apps one might find integrated in the custom UI of the device.
