THE Creative Showcase 2024 at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo this Friday will witness performances by an array of artistes from the City of Kings.
The event, which is being sponsored by the United States embassy and British Council, will see various Bulawayo artistes entertain fans with music and poetry for free during the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair week.

She will be performing alongside artistes like Msiz’kay, real name Sizalobuhle Nkomo, a rapper, producer, singer, songwriter and poet who fuses various traditional African music elements with hip-hop and R&B to come up with a unique sound and deep lyrics designed to appeal to people from all walks of life.
