Zimbabwean Concerts Shift Focus to Local Artists Amid Immigration Protests in South Africa
Concert organisers in Zimbabwe are increasingly giving priority to local musicians following protests in South Africa over illegal immigration, a development that has reportedly affected the participation of some foreign performers.
Despite the trend, South African music star Makhadzi is among the artists still scheduled to perform in Zimbabwe after several other performances involving foreign acts were reportedly cancelled.
The development comes amid growing public debate over immigration issues in South Africa, with some entertainment events across the region feeling the impact.
Videos circulating on social media have also highlighted the ongoing discussions surrounding the cancellations and the renewed focus on promoting Zimbabwean talent.
